Directions

1 Set oven control to broil. Generously spray both sides of each eggplant slice with cooking spray. Place on rack in broiler pan. Broil with tops 4 to 5 inches from heat about 10 minutes, turning once, until tender.
2 While eggplant is broiling, mix Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs; toss with oil.
3 Heat spaghetti sauce in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
4 Sprinkle 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese over eggplant slices. Spoon bread crumb mixture over cheese. Broil about 1 minute or until cheese is melted and crumbs are brown. Top eggplant with spaghetti sauce and remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Eggplant Parmigiana is typically a high-fat dish. But this leaner version broils—instead of fries—the eggplant, for a significant fat and calorie savings.

Male eggplants have fewer seeds than the female variety does. Because these seeds are bitter, male eggplants are preferred. You can spot male eggplants because they have a rounder, smoother blossom end or base.

I just made it for the first time and I loved it!!! I had never cooked an eggplant before and may have overcooked it a little, but I can't wait to make it again. My kids hated it, but it was so fast and easy to make.

I have never purchased an eggplant or tried Eggplant Parmesan, but this recipe was so easy and fast and delicious, we'll definatley have it again. I added extra spices to the raw eggplant for intitial broiling. I also added some spicey pepperoni slices on top of the broiled crumb mixture. This gave it a zesty flavor and we loved it!!

Nothing but good things to say about this recipe. Not everyone loves eggplant but my husband and I can't get enough of it. I promised myself I would find a recipe that I could make at home and when I came across this one and saw how easy it was was eager to try it. It has become my go to meal for special occasions. It's fast, easy, and the eggplant holds up for a while so you can have it again the next week. Love this with spaghetti!
