Ingredients
  • 1 whole egg
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 cups whole wheat bread crumbs
  • 3 eggplant, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 6 cups spaghetti sauce, divided
  • 0.75 pound part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried basil

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Beat together egg, egg whites, and water in a shallow bowl until well combined. Place bread crumbs on a large plate.
