Ingredients

  • 1 can Sauce 28-ounce no-salt-added peeled tomatoes
  • 2 can tomato sauce 15-ounce no-salt-added
  • 1 can tomato paste 6-ounce no-salt-added
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon basil dried
  • 1 tablespoon oregano dried
  • eggplants ½ inch slices
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 3 cup mozzarella cheese shredded reduced-fat

Instructions

  • Preheat broiler.  In a large saucepan, make sauce by combining tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, tomato paste, white wine, garlic, basil and oregano.  Bring to a boil, lower heat, and cook 20 minutes. (Don’t forget you can add chia seeds or flaxseed meal to your breadcrumbs, for more fiber!)
  • Meanwhile, salt eggplant slices with enough salt to cover for 30 minutes.  Rinse and pat dry.
  • In a bowl, mix egg whites and 1/4 cup water together with a fork.  Dip eggplant slices in egg white mixture and roll in breadcrumbs.  Place on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray and broil 5 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.  Watch closely.  Remove and set aside.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350F.
  • In a 2-quart oblong baking dish, layer half the sauce, half the eggplant and half the mozzarella cheese.   Repeat layers.  Bake 30 minutes, or until bubbly and cheese is melted.
