  4. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  5. 2 cups Panko bread crumbs
  6. 1/8 cup of grated fresh low fat Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  7. olive oil cooking spray
  8. 2 cups Italian tomato sauce
  9. 1 cup fat free mozzarella cheese
Instructions
  1. • Preheat oven to 425°F.

  5. • Combine seasoned Panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Apply bread crumb mixture to eggplant pieces.
  6. • Place on flat large cookie sheet that has been lightly sprayed with olive oil.
  7. • Lightly spray olive oil on tops of all pieces laid out on the cookie sheet.
  8. • Bake until outside is crisp and inside is tender (About 20 minutes, flipping them over after the first 10 minutes).
  9. • When initial baking is complete, separate the larger slices from the smaller slices as the larger ones serve as the base when stacking.
  10. • Place large slices back on baking pan and cover with Italian sauce and lightly apply fat free mozzarella cheese.
  11. • Stack the next largest slice and repeat the process (Usually stacked 3-4 layers high).
  12. • On the top slice add ample sauce and fat free cheese. Bake until cheese begins to bubble and brown slightly.
