Baked Eggplant with Mushroom-and-Tomato Sauce


Ingredients
1 peeled eggplant, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Cooking spray
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 (8-ounce) package presliced mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1 (8-ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce, divided
2/3 cup (about 3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese


Preparation
Preheat broiler.
Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; broil 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.

Preheat oven to 375°.

Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat; add onion and next 4 ingredients (onion through mushrooms). Cover and cook 7 minutes or until tender, stirring mixture occasionally. Increase heat to medium-high; uncover and cook for 2 minutes or until liquid evaporates.

Spread half of mushroom mixture in bottom of a 1 1/2-quart round baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange half of eggplant slices over mushroom mixture; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Top with 1/2 cup tomato sauce and 1/3 cup mozzarella. Spread remaining mushroom mixture over mozzarella; top with remaining eggplant slices. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon pepper; top with remaining tomato sauce. Cover and bake at 375° for 1 hour. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Let stand 10 minutes.

    Thank you so much and welcome to the site! This is a WONDERFUL place to go to for information and support. You might get addicted!! :wink:

    Most of the recipes I post are from Cooking Light. I subscribe to the publication and am constantly checking out their recipes online for something new. I cook from them a lot. The great thing is they do focus on healthful meals and cutting fats where you can but they don't make everything completely "Fat-free" which means taste free! Plus you DO need fats in your diet! :)

    Anyway, best of luck to you in reaching your goals!

    :flowerforyou:

    OK, I tried this recipe last week and it was fan-freaking-tastic! It was so good that my husband requested I make it again sometime (I'm making it this evening). And he's not even vegetarian!
    Thanks TAM! :love:

    Ok, now I have this baking and am SO looking forward to it!! And with the low cals and fat, I have already calculated 2 portions into my dinner, along with some green beans!! MMMM!!

    I haven't tasted it yet but it smells wonderful! This just goes to show that with the right ingredients, you don't have to sacrifice flavor even if you do go the healthy route.

    Then I have butterscoth blondies for dessert!!!

    This looks yummy! Eggplant is going on my next shopping list!

    Have you ever had Italian eggplant? My neighbor planted some last year and she gave us quite a few as they were ripening. They are smaller like a zucchini and oh so delicious! I'd split them in half, brush with olive oil, alittle salt & pepper then grill. And besides tasting good the plant was beautiful, greenish purple leaves and small lavender flowers. I'm putting some into my flower bed next year.
