I’ve been feeling in a bit of rut lately with cooking, because it feels as though I’ve been making the same things over and over again! So I decided to switch it up today. My favorite meal of ALL TIME is Eggplant Parmesan. I can’t get enough. However, my usual recipe does not fit in the 21 Day Fix nutrition plan. I basically use a half bottle of oil to fry up the eggplant. Right.
I put together a Fix-approved version and it was DELICIOUS. My husband loved it so much that he got bummed out when he back for more and we’d already eaten it all. Here’s what I did.
Slice up your eggplant. Dip it in eggs and place it on parchment paper on a baking sheet. Top with your seasoned breadcrumbs. Bake for about 15-20 minutes depending how thick your slices are. Take it out the oven and use a spatula to move the baked eggplant from the baking sheet to your casserole dish. Pour your sauce over the eggplant. Top it with your cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling. I served mine over a bed of steamed Zoodles.
Ingredients
– 1 large eggplant
– 2 eggs
– Homemade breadcrumbs (2 slices of wheat bread, toasted then crumbled)
– 1 cup of plain tomato sauce
– 1/4 shredded mozzarella cheese
– Salt-free italian seasoning
– Pepper for seasoning
Makes 2 servings (Zoodles not counted): 1 green, 1/2 red, 1 yellow, 1/2 purple, 1/2 blue

Tomorrow is actually the end of my first cycle and beginning of my second cycle! I feel stronger and healthier. I don’t see the change, but I think it’s because I look at myself constantly (I dance, so I’m constantly in front of mirrors). However, returning customers at my jobs have noticed the change, so it must be working! 🙂 Thank you for asking!

It is the BEST feeling when people notice the changes! And I’m sure you feel great. Did you take measurements? It’s so important so you can track your journey! Are you doing another round? 🙂 Speaking of dance – did you hear the announcement about Beachbody releasing a dance workout program this summer? I’m so excited 🙂

Trying this tonight!! A few questions.. What temp do you put oven at? Do you coat both sides of the eggplant with breadcrumbs? And when putting everything together with sauce and cheese, do you stack two pieces of eggplant on top of each other or do you do it single file..? Thanks!

Hi Sarah! I do coat both sides and I put the oven at 400. I like to stack on top of each other in a small casserole dish! Let me know how you like it!

Excellent. Great for left overs too. I used Italian breadcrumbs, VERY sparingly. Will definitely do this again.
