Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggplants
4 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (regular can be substituted)
2 cups breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (recommend using a mix of parmesan and romano)
1 head garlic
2 minced garlic cloves
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 cups tomato sauce (any brand will due, but I recommend my zesty tomato sauce!)
1 (14 ounce) can white beans
1 1/2 cups low fat mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • in a flat bottom bowl, whisk egg whites, salt, 2 cloves garlic.
  • in another bowl, mix bread crumbs, basil, and parmesean/romano mixture.
  • lightly spray two baking sheets with olive oil and drizzle a small amount on the whole garlic head.
  • cut eggplant into 1/2 inch rounds and dip into egg mixture then batter in bread crumbs.
  • place eggplant and garlic head on baking sheets.
  • cook until tender (about 20 min on each side for the eggplant and 20-30 min total for garlic head).
  • drain and rinse white beans.
  • in 2 8x11 baking dishes, put a thin layer of tomato sauce.
  • when garlic head is finished and cool enough to touch, peel out the cloves and mash them into the white beans to make a paste.
  • put a layer of eggplant rounds on top of the tomato sauce.
  • spread bean/garlic paste evenly on rounds.
  • add half the cheese and a cup of sauce.
  • place the rest of the eggplant in a second layer.
  • add any leftover bread crumbs, sauce and cheese.
  • bake 25 min until cheese is bubbly.
