List of Ingredients
2 medium eggplant
1 egg
1/4 cup skim milk
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil cooking spray
1/4 cup onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
4 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1 can (15 ounces) pizza sauce
1/4 cup Parmesan cheeseRecipe
Peel the eggplant and slice it lengthwise, getting at least 5 slices from each eggplant.
In a shallow dish, combine the egg and milk.
Place the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
Dip the eggplant slices in the egg mixture, then coat them with breadcrumbs.
Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet coated with vegetable oil cooking spray and coat the top of each slice of eggplant with vegetable oil cooking spray.
Broil 5 to 7 minutes on each side of the eggplant slices to soften them; set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a nonstick skillet with vegetable oil cooking spray. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until they are soft, about 4 to 5 minutes; set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, oregano and the sautéed onion and garlic mixture.
Using a tablespoon measure, spoon a heaping dollop of the cheese mixture onto an eggplant slice and roll it up. Repeat this process with each eggplant slice.
Spray a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Spoon 1/3 cup pizza sauce into the baking dish and spread it around. Place the eggplant rolls in the baking dish and top them with the remaining pizza sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; cover and bake 30 to 35 minutes.
Serves 4.
