Ingredients

• 1 second olive oil cooking sprayNutrition
• 6 leaves leave basilNutrition
• 2 tbsps olive oilNutrition
• 1 unpeeled eggplantNutrition
• 1 medium whole tomato, slicedNutrition
• 4 oz nonfat mozzarella cheese slicesNutrition

Directions

1. 1Slice eggplant to about 1/4" thickness. Sprinkle both sides with salt and let sit and drain in a colander or lay out on paper towels (to pull the moisture to the top which you can then dab off, otherwise you will end up with a soggy dish).
2. 2Spray bottom of a baking dish with non-stick spray and place the eggplant in the dish, sides touching.
3. 3Place a slice of the tomato on top of each slice of eggplant.
4. 4Shred the basil and spread evenly across the tops.
5. 5Drizzle olive oil evenly over all the slices and then sprinkle the mozzarella (more or less to taste) across the slices.
6. 6bake at 350 °F (150 °C) until edges or cheese are slightly brown, about 20 minutes.
7. 7Note: a great way to get in some of those much needed and often neglected vegetables. The light and zesty flavor is summery and refreshing in the winter.
