Eggplant Parmesan

Delicious, low-fat eggplant parmesan. The eggplant is baked instead of fried to keep it low-fat.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place eggplant in colander and sprinkle with kosher salt making sure it is on all pieces. Let sit for 30 minutes.
  2. In a medium saucepan combine tomato sauce, tomatoes, garlic salt, minced garlic, Italian seasoning and basil. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer. By the time the eggplant has finished sweating the sauce will be ready.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 °F (205 °C) and spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Rinse eggplant well with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  4. In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together egg and water. Dip eggplant in egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then dredge in breadcrumbs and place on baking sheet. Bake until golden brown then turn pieces over, about 15 minutes on each side.
  5. Remove eggplant from oven then increase oven temperature to 425 °F (220 °C).
  6. Lightly spray 8x8 casserole dish with non-stick spray then layer just enough sauce to cover the bottom of dish, add a layer of eggplant then a layer of sauce, sprinkle 1/3 of parmesan and romano cheese, 1/3 of shredded pizza cheese and repeat for 3 layers.
  7. Place dish into oven and bake for 15 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and cheese has melted. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Note: a jar of spaghetti sauce can be used instead of tomato sauce for a different flavor.

This is the best Eggplant I've ever made - my family loved it and we have had it three times now. Great sauce and never knew to sweat the eggplant first. Excellent.

you can grill the eggplant. It'll be still very tasty and you can save the egg and the bread crumbs. I also advise to add 1/2 onion to the tomato sauce (you can use just tomato sauce instead of diced tomatoes). :)

I just noticed that the sodium on my recipe is through the roof! That is due to the fact that the kosher salt used for "sweating" the eggplant is included in the ingredient list. The majority of that salt gets washed away when you rinse well as suggested. You will notice that the only other salt in the recipe is only 1/4 tsp garlic salt in the sauce. So please don't let the sodium scare you away from trying this recipe (as it isn't really nearly that high). I also wanted to mention that I don't eat this on the week that I do the cabbage soup diet but the following week is fine. It's not good to stay on the cabbage soup diet for more than one week at a time. :)
