Ingredients

  • 1 whole egg
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 3 eggplant, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups whole wheat bread crumbs
  • 6 cups spaghetti sauce, divided
  • 3/4 pound part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat together egg, egg whites, and water in a shallow bowl. Dip eggplant slices in egg, then bread crumbs. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until fork tender, 7 to 10 minutes on each side.
  • Spread spaghetti sauce to cover the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place a layer of eggplant slices in the sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat with remaining ingredients, ending with cheeses. Sprinkle basil on top.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 35 minutes.
