I had never tried eggplant until today and man I did not know what I was missing.  It was delicious and I can’t wait to make it again.  Super easy and super cheap. 

First you will need eggplant washed and rinsed.  Then you will need to cut the eggplant in quarter inch slices.  Lay them on a piece of tin foil and sprinkle salt over top of them to draw the water out.

Next pour your Italian style bread crumbs in one bowl and your egg whites in another bowl.

Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees and grease your cookie sheet with a little olive oil.

Then blot the standing water from the eggplant with a paper towel.  Now it’s time to prepare your eggplant.  Dip each piece individually into the egg whites and then the Italian bread crumbs evenly around.  Place them each on your greased cookie sheet.  Put in the oven for about 15 minutes or till tender.

While they are in the oven place your Italian tomato sauce in a sauce pan and begin to heat.

Bring eggplant out of the oven and pour some sauce over eggplant.  Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese on top and pop it back in the oven. Only long enough to melt the cheese.

Take out of the oven and get ready to taste an awesome meal.
