Ingredients
Olive oil cooking spray
4 small Italian eggplants
1/4 c. Italian-style seasoned breadcrumbs
1 jar low-fat pizza sauce
4 slice part-skim mozzarella cheese
8 tsp. grated Parmesan cheese
4 slice reduced-fat provolone cheese
2 plum tomatoes
1/2 c. basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat bottom and sides of 4 individual-size shallow gratin dishes with cooking spray.
Lightly spray eggplant slices with cooking spray; sprinkle both sides lightly with breadcrumbs. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add half the eggplant to skillet; cook 8 minutes, turning once, until browned and almost tender. Fry remaining eggplant.
Place 3 Tbsp sauce on bottom of each dish. Top with 2 eggplant slices and 1 slice of mozzarella, torn to fit, to cover eggplant. Spread a scant 1 Tbsp sauce over cheese, and sprinkle with 1 tsp Parmesan. Top with remaining eggplant slices, sauce, and provolone cheese, torn to fit. Arrange 4 thin tomato slices, overlapping, on top. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
Bake, uncovered, 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden. Remove from oven; scatter basil on top. Let stand 5 minutes, then serve.
