Ingredients

The eggplant and coating

  • 2 pounds eggplants
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

The sauce and cheese

  • 2 ½ cups marinara sauce
  • ¾ cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare baking sheets and a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Slice the eggplants into ¼-inch-thick slices. Whisk the egg whites and water together in a shallow dish. In another dish, mix breadcrumbs, ¼ cup of Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip eggplant slices in the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange on baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes, flip, and bake for another 15 minutes until golden.
  4. Prepare or use store-bought marinara sauce. Layer some sauce in the baking dish, followed by half the eggplant, some sauce, half the mozzarella, and half the Parmesan. Repeat with the remaining eggplant, sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  5. Bake uncovered until the sauce bubbles and the top is golden, about 15 to 20 minutes.
