I just tried this dish for the first time the other night. It’s pretty easy to make (even for big groups), tastes amazing, and is a super healthy alternative to a normal lasagna. Cottage cheese instead of ricotta? Just trust me on this one…
Ooey gooey cheesy
Eggplant Lasagna
- Eggplant(s)
- Fat-free cottage cheese
- Low-fat mozzarella
- Parmesan cheese
- Almond flour
- Eggs
- Pasta sauce
- Spinach
- Olive oil
- Italian seasoning
- Basil
- Salt & pepper
- Cut eggplant(s) lengthwise and put salt on the pieces. Let sit for about 10 minutes so the salt absorbs some of the water
- Wipe off the salt/water
- Prepare egg wash and combine almond flour with parmesan. Dip eggplant slices into egg wash then flour mixtures. Bake for about 10-15 mins or until crispy
- While eggplant is cooking, sauté garlic in the olive oil, then cook the spinach down
- In separate bowl, combine cottage cheese, mozzarella (leave some for topping), parmesan (leave some for topping), spinach/garlic mix, egg(s), Italian seasoning, salt & pepper, a few tablespoons of pasta sauce, and some basil
- In baking pan, layer the bottom with pasta sauce. Begin to layer eggplant (noodles), then cheese mixture and repeat
- Top with some extra cheese, basil and sauce to make it delicious
- Enjoy!
