1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | tablespoons | Low-fat or non-fat mayonnaise |
| 1 | tablespoon | Water |
| 2 | tablespoons | Lemon juice |
| 1 | pinch | Garlic powder |
| 6 | tablespoons | Grated Romano or Parmesan cheese |
| 6 | tablespoons | Packaged Italian-seasoned bread crumbs |
| 1 | medium | Eggplant |
Directions
1. Preheat oven to very hot (450 degrees). Spray a nonstick cookie sheet or shallow baking pan liberally with cooking spray.
2. Blend mayonnaise, water, lemon juice, and garlic powder in in a shallow plate. Combine cheese and bread crumbs.
3. Trim and discard ends from eggplant. Cut the eggplant into ¾-inch thick slices. Dip each slice into mayonnaise mixture, turning to coat both sides, then press both sides lightly into the crumb mixture. Arrange each crumb-coated slice in a single layer on the cookie sheet.
4. Place the tray on the bottom shelf of the pre-heated very hot oven, bake, uncovered, 5 minutes. Turn slices with a spatula and bake another 5 minutes or more, until coating is crisp and eggplant slices are tender.
Makes 6 servings.
