Low Fat Eggplant Parmesan
Ingredients:
4 egg whites
2 lb eggplant (peeled and cut)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
16oz fat free ricotta cheese
1/2 cup italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup basil
1 cup parmesan cheese
Salt
24 oz pasta sauce
Low fat mozzarella (to taste)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. To make eggplant, combine 3 egg whites and 1 tablespoon water in a shallow dish. Combine bread crumbs and 1/4 cup parmesan in a second shallow dish. Dip eggplant in egg mixture; dredge in breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere and shaking off excess. Place eggplant on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until golden, turning once and rotating baking sheets after 15 minutes.
3. To make filling, combine basil and next 6 ingredients (through egg).
4. To assemble, spoon 1/2 cup pasta sauce in bottom of a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer half of eggplant slices over pasta sauce. Sprinkle eggplant with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Top with about 3/4 cup pasta sauce; spread half of ricotta mixture over sauce, and top with a third of mozzarella and 1/4 cup fontina. Repeat layers once, ending with about 1 cup pasta sauce. Cover tightly with aluminum foil coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes. Remove foil; top with remaining third of mozzarella and 1/4 cup fontina. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and cheese melts; cool 10 minutes.

@FitnessKid96 Awesome. This ended up closer to a lasagna b/c of the ricotta, but it was great still. Please let me know how it goes. Maybe you could film it and do a video response.
