1-1/2 cups Reduced Fat Sargento 4 Cheese Italian Blend
1/2 cup Kraft Parmesan Romano Cheese blend
1 jar of Classico Tomato Sauce (I had Tomato & Basil)
2 Eggs
1 carton (15oz) Part Skim Ricotta
2 cups Morningstar Veggie Crumbles (microwaved so they aren't frozen anymore)
1 Eggplant
Peel the Eggplant and cut it lengthwise into very thin slices (1/8" or less is ideal). You can use a mandoline or do what I did and flatten one side for stability and have a go with the knife.
Cook the eggplant until the slices are floppy and "noodly". I used a stovetop grillpan but you could also broil, bake, or even pan fry the slices. Spray with cooking spay and let 'er rip. This is, by far, the biggest PITA part.
Mix 1 cup of the 4 cheese blend, eggs, ricotta and Parmesan cheese.
Spray a 9x9 pan and put 1/2 cup or so of sauce on the bottom, cover with a layer of eggplant slices.
Put down 1/2 of the cheese mixture, a cup of veggie cumbles and 1/3 of the remaining sauce
Put down another layer of eggplant, mixture, etc.
Top with eggplant, sauce and final 1/2 cup of 4 cheese blend
Bake at 375 for 45 to 55 minutes until bubbly
Makes 12 servings:
193 calories, 13.5g carbs, 13.8g protien, 9.5 g fat.
An entire eggplant has only 110 calories. I used about 80% of mine but the nutrition info above includes the whole eggplant. If sliced thin and properly cooked, I bet nobody would know your lasagne used eggplant.
