Eggplant Parm

a healthier version to eggplant parmigiana with a few quick and easy steps!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1-2 eggplant
  • 1 jar Newmans own farmers garden sauce or your favorite!
  • 1 bag part skim mozzarella cheese or regular if you prefer
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp oregano leaves or Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Rince and cut eggplant into 1/2 inch slices. I say to use 1-2 eggplant depending on the size.  If only smaller eggplants are available then use 2. 

  2. Lay slices on paper towel and salt both sides. Let rest for 10 minutes to absorb any excess water. 

  3. Place slices on baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes, flipping half way through.  

  4. While the eggplant are cooking, prepare a small casserole dish with a small layer of sauce on the bottom.

  5. Once they are done baking, start layering!  Place one layer of eggplant in prepared casserole dish and top with sauce, then a little of  the mozzarella cheese and REPEAT until all eggplant is used.  I usually only have 2-3 layers.  (leave some sauce and moz cheese for the topping)

  6. Once finished layering, top with remaining sauce, moz cheese, parmesan cheese and oregano or Italian seasoning.

  7. Bake for another 15 minutes on 350 degrees to heat through and ENJOY!
