I just realized I hadn't put this one on here. I use my own tomato sauce, but you can use jarred sauce if you're in a pinch. Also you can easily substitute the part skim mozzarella for fat free for even lower fat content.
I don't have an exact recipe for my sauce but this is the basis:
2 or so pounds of pureed fresh tomatoes
A handful of basil leaves, finely chopped
1 small sweet onion, finely chopped
1 - 2 tbsp of minced garlic
1 - 2 tbsp of dried Italian seasoning
A pinch or two each of sugar and salt
A dash of Tabasco sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper
1 tbsp of olive oil
Heat olive oil and brown minced garlic. Toss in everything else. Feel free to adjust to your taste and simmer for an hour.
Eggplant parmesan directions:
No stick cooking spray (Pam)
1 c. bread crumbs, Italian flavored
3 egg whites
1 lg. eggplant, cut into 1/2" slices
1/2 c. grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 (8 oz.) pkg. shredded low moisture part skim Mozzarella cheese
1. Spray 13"x9" baking dish with no-stick cooking spray. On sheet of waxed paper, place bread crumbs. In a bowl, beat egg whites with 3 tablespoons water. Dip eggplant into egg mixture, then into crumb mixture. Place eggplant on broil pan. Spray with Pam. Broil until golden brown, turn eggplant slices over and spray with Pam. Broil until golden brown.3. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees. Arrange half of eggplant slices in baking dish; cover with half tomato mixture; sprinkle with half Parmesan cheese and then top with half Mozzarella; repeat. Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

I was hesitant to do this at first, but it got great reviews. These are a low calorie nutritious snack. Like potato chips, you cannot stop at just eating one. They are great for parties and a good conversation topic

This lady I go to church with makes these and I have always loved them. I did alter the recipe a bit by leaving off the white chocolate/shortening topping (used only the almonds) and thought it turned out fantastic.
|
1 | pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix |
1/2 | cup butter or margarine, melted |
1/2 | teaspoon almond extract |
1 | egg |
|
1 | can (8 oz) or 1 package (7 oz) almond paste, crumbled into 1/2-inch pieces |
1/4 | cup sugar |
1/4 | cup butter or margarine, melted |
2 | eggs |
1/2 | cup sliced almonds |
|
2 | oz white chocolate baking bar, coarsely chopped (1/3 cup) |
2 | tablespoons shortening |
1/4 | cup sliced almonds |
1. | Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir cookie base ingredients until soft dough forms. Spread in ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown. |
2. | Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat almond paste, sugar and 1/4 cup melted butter with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Add 2 eggs; beat until well blended (mixture may be slightly lumpy). |
3. | Spread almond paste mixture over partially baked base. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup almonds. Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until filling is set (filling will puff up during baking). Cool completely, about 1 hour. |
4. | In 1-quart heavy saucepan, melt white chocolate and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Pour and spread over cooled bars. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup almonds. Let stand about 30 minutes or until topping is set. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 4 rows. Store covered at room temperature.
