Sauteing in a reduced amount of oil helps give this classic eggplant dish a healthy twist. Add a green salad and Italian bread. Meat-free never tasted better! —Kendell Christensen, Palatine, Illinois

I tried the lighter version, as chezshea suggested. Thanks for the tip. It was great without the guilt of frying.I sprinkled a little mozzarella on top at the end. Cl

If you are truly wanting to lower the fat in this recipe. Try spraying the spray the breaded eggplant with "olive oil cooking spray" then put on a preheated baking tray that is again sprayed with the "olive oil spray" right before you add the eggplant. Turn it once while you "fry it" without oil in the oven. Then put it in your baking dish for the additional time you suggest.It's lighter, brighter, just as good, with even less fat and calories.chezshea
