Note: you can use these like hamburger buns...top with a hamburger patty and garnish the hamburger patty with spaghetti sauce and a slice of mozzarella cheese..broil until the cheese melts...use a knife and fork to eat them with.

Saute onion and garlic in red wine until tender; add tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, oregano and mushrooms.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Cut eggplant crosswise into ¼ inch slices; coat with flour. Dip into Egg Beaters, then in croutons. Cook in a teflon skillet sprayed with a non-fat cooking spray until lightly browned, turning once. In the bottom of a 13x9x2-inch baking dish, spread ½ of the tomato sauce mixture, layer half of the eggplant slices, top with cheese. Repeat layers. Pour remaining sauce over top. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

Makes 8-10 servings.
