Eggplant Mozzarella Melt
What you need:
- 2 eggs-$.26
- salt and pepper-on hand
- 3/4 cup plain dried breadcrumbs (I used whole wheat Italian)-I had this on hand but the bread crumbs are around $2.50 a container-I'll say $1.25
- olive oil for baking sheet-on hand
- 1 medium eggplant-$1.78
- 1 loaf of soft Italian bread-$1.48
- 2 cups store bought tomato sauce-$.56
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese-$3.48 for 16oz=$1.74
This is one of those recipes where you go to figure out the calorie count and it's a bit more difficult. How many calories is that loaf of bread? It didn't have a calorie count on the package since it was from the bakery area. I ended up just estimating it at 800 calories and using a break down that was already in Lose It. I made it 10 servings because 4? Way too big of a serving.
Total cost=$7.07 or $.71 a slice
This turned out good but a little bland. I think if you took this idea but used the tomato sauce mixture from this recipe it would have a lot more flavor. I think this would be good for a family potluck or with a big pot of Minestrone soup.
