To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 medium-sized eggplant
- 1/2 cup of whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup of tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
To start, slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch thick rounds and season with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg and flour until smooth. In another shallow dish, mix together the whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each eggplant slice into the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the eggplant slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the eggplant slices from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom. Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on top of the sauce. Spoon more tomato sauce over the eggplant slices, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all the eggplant slices are used up.
Bake the Eggplant Parmesan with Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious taste of this classic Italian dish.
This dish can be described as a healthy and flavorful Italian classic. The crispy eggplant slices are coated in whole wheat breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, then baked with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. The result is a dish that is both satisfying and nutritious.
