Carbs per serving 9.5 grams of carb. NUMBER OF SERVINGS: 6.

Ingredients:

medium-size eggplants, peeled (about 18 ounces)

ounces shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese

ounces grated Parmesan cheese

ounces shredded Swiss cheese (or very thinly sliced)

Tablesps tomato paste

½ cups dry white wine

cup water

salt to taste

freshly ground black pepper to taste

eggs, beaten

cup bread crumbs

Teasp garlic powder

cup olive oil or coconut oil (more if needed)

Tablesps butter (1/2 stick), (optional)

Butter or oil a 2-quart baking pan or ovenproof casserole dish. Cut the eggplant

into ½-inch-thick slices. (Read about eggplant on page 220.) Set out the cheeses and

have ready. Mix the tomato paste with the wine and water; stir into a smooth sauce

(

you can do this in the blender). Season with salt and pepper.

Set out two shallow bowls for the beaten eggs and the bread crumbs. Mix the

crumbs with garlic powder and salt. Dip each slice of eggplant first in the eggs, then in

the bread crumbs. Coat well. Put the coated slices on a platter.

Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Heat the olive oil. Cook the

eggplant slices in the hot oil until golden brown on each side. Do not crowd the slices;

you need to be able to turn them. Preheat oven to 350ºF when you are about halfway

through cooking the eggplant. Drain eggplant on paper towels. Transfer the cooked

slices to a holding plate until all slices are cooked. Note that these bread crumbs tend

to darken faster than standard bread crumbs. Reduce heat if needed to keep the slices

light golden in color.
