Microwaved Italian Eggplant

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
If you're trying to cut back on meat, you'll appreciate this main dish from Joan Donahue of Bensalem, Pennsylvania. The microwave makes it fast to fix these crumb-topped eggplant slices.

Ingredients

  • 2 small eggplant, peeled
  • 1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 cup spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  • 1. Cut eggplant into 3/4-in. slices. In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs and oregano. Brush one side of each eggplant slice with mayonnaise. Dip mayonnaise side into crumb mixture; place crumb side up in a shallow 2-qt. microwave-safe dish.
  • 2. Cover and microwave on high for 6-8 minutes or until tender. Drizzle with spaghetti sauce and sprinkle with cheeses. Cook, uncovered, 1 minute longer or until sauce is heated through.
