Fake Fried Eggplant

To cook:
I made this last night and, wow, I thought it was great. I've roasted eggplant before, but wanted a new way to dress it up. I added this to "pasta" made from spaghetti squash and marinara. It was a hit!

Fake Fried Eggplant
* 1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise
* 1 tablespoon minced onion
* 1 lb unpeeled eggplant, sliced (about 12 1/2 inch slices)
* 1/3 cup fine dry breadcrumb
* 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
* 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
* vegetable oil cooking spray

Directions
Combine first 2 ingredients, stir well.

Spread evenly over both sides of eggplant slices.

Combine breadcrumbs, cheese, and Italian seasoning in a shallow bowl; dredge eggplant in breadcrumbs mixture.

Place eggplant on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

Bake@ 425 degrees for 12 minutes.

Turn eggplant over; and bake an additional 12 minutes or until golden.

Yum! I love eggplant! I can't wait to try this. What else did you serve with it?

Oooohhh it's so good, please let me know how it turns out if you make an eggplant dinner. I served it with spaghetti squash and marinara and a side of green beans. I think I'll try it with a bigger green salad next time instead of the green beans though. And the marinara really "made" the dish I think, tying together the squash and eggplant.
