Eggplant Parmesan (Ovo Lacto)

1 Eggplant

1/2 c Whole wheat flour

3 Egg whites or 1/2 cup egg

Substitute 1/4 c Skim milk

2 c Bread crumbs

1 ts Salt (in all)

1 ts Oregano

1/2 ts Cayenne pepper

1/4 ts White pepper

2 c Tomato sauce

1/2 c Parmesan cheese, grated

1 c Mozzarella cheese

(optional) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice eggplant into 1/4" thick rounds. Prepare three bowls, the first with the flour mixed with 1/2 tsp salt, the second with the egg whites mixed with the skim milk, and the third with bread crumbs mixed with remaining 1/2 tsp salt, oregano, and pepper. Dredge eggplant slices in flour, then egg and milk mixture, and then bread crumb mixture. Make a layer of coated slices in a casserole dish and sprinkle with 1 cup tomato sauce and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Make another layer of slices on the first layer, staggering slices so they don`t completely overlap lower slices. Sprinkle second layer with remaining 1 cup tomato sauce and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Cover casserole and bake for 45 minutes. Optional: remove casserole and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and return to oven for 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
