Healthy eggplant parmigiana


This is sooooo yummy and healthy! next time you are in the mood for something light yet tasty try this.
Ingredients:
1 large eggplant
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (i like seasoned)
1 egg
1/4 cup skim milk
1 tbsp olive oil

combine cheese and crumbs in a shallow bowl and set to the side, in a different bowl do the same with the egg and milk and whisk together. Cut the eggplant in thin slices,about 1/4 of an inch. With the olive oil, lightly coat a cookie sheet,or even better line it with parchment paper.
dip each eggplant slice in the egg mixture and then in the cheese mixture (coat both sides) then place on the baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes or till crisp and golden brown. Next use your favorite tomato sauce ( i will post my recipe later) and place about 1/4 of a cup of the sauce on the bottom of a baking dish or casserole dish. Place one layer of eggplant on the bottom and top with sauce, then add another layer of eggplant and top with sauce and parmesan cheese or mozzarella. bake it for another 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and delicious! enjoy!!!
