Ingredients
  • 2 inch medium eggplants* peeled and cut crosswise into 1/2" thick slices
  • 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 Tbsp milk or water
Instructions
  1. Combine egg and milk in a shallow dish. Combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in a second shallow dish.
  2. Dip eggplant in egg mixture; dredge in breadcrumbs and parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere and shaking off excess. Place eggplant slices 1 inch apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray.
  3. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until golden, turning once after 15 minutes.
Recipe Notes

* To reduce the bitterness of eggplants, I usually cook them in salty water for about 2-3 minutes. Drain in colander, then press out the water with the palm of your hand.
