Description

Breaded eggplant slices are baked then layered with lots of cheese and sauce for a delicious family-favorite dinner.

Ingredients

cooking spray
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons water
2 cups plain dry bread crumbs
2 medium eggplants, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 (24 ounce) jar RAGÚ® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce
1/2 cup reduced-fat grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets with cooking spray.
2 Whisk together eggs and water in a shallow bowl. Place bread crumbs in a second bowl.
3 Dip eggplant slices in egg mixture, then press in bread crumbs to coat. Arrange eggplant in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until eggplant is golden, about 25 minutes.
5 Evenly spread 1 cup sauce in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Layer ½ of the baked eggplant slices evenly over sauce, then top with 1 cup sauce and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese; repeat layers once more. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
6 Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and sprinkle top with mozzarella cheese. Continue baking, uncovered, until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
