CRISPY EGGPLANT WITH SPICY TOMATO-FETA CHEESE SAUCE image

Categories     Tomato     Vegetable     Low Fat     Vegetarian

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium eggplant (about 1 pound), peeled and about 3/4" sliced
salt
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ (I've done it without toasting and it's still great)
1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups meatless spaghetti sauce
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
fresh snipped basil or parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Place eggplant slices on a baking sheet. Lightly salt eggplant. Let stand for 10 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels. In a shallow bowl combine the eggs and milk. In another shallow bowl stir together the Parmesan cheese, wheat germ, basil, and pepper. Dip the eggplant slices in egg mixture, then into wheat germ mixture, turning to coat both sides. Place the coated slices in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, in a 400 degree F. oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggplant is crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Meanwhile, for sauce, in a medium saucepan combine the spaghetti sauce and ground red pepper. Cook over medium heat until heated through. To serve, place several slices of eggplant on individual plates. Spoon tomato sauce over eggplant. Sprinkle with feta cheese and, if desired, fresh basil or parsley.

I didn't have any feta cheese, so I used a different cheese. It was still good, but I think feta would have been better.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I used a different sauce. The dish was still delicious.

This recipe was a bit too bland for me. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my eggplant didn't come out crispy. It was still tasty, but not what I was hoping for.
