Serving Size: 3 slices

Ingredients

30 slices Eggplant, peeled and sliced into rounds and soaked in saltwater
for 15 minutes
4 cups Unbleached All-Purposed Flour
2 tsp. Salt, divided
2 tsp. Black Pepper, divided
2 quarts Non-dairy milk, unsweetened
4 cups Panko Breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp. Italian Spice Blend
Pan Spray As needed
2 cups Marinara Sauce, prepared, hot
2 cups White Bean Alfredo Sauce (see recipe)
¼ cup Basil, Fresh, chopped
1 Tbsp. Oregano, Fresh, chopped

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the eggplant from the saltwater and pat dry with paper towels. Gather a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
2. Mix the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper together in a shallow dish large enough to dip the eggplant in.
3. In a second container large enough to dip the eggplant in, pour the non-dairy milk into it.
4. In a third container large enough to dip the eggplant in, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Italian spice blend, remaining salt and black pepper.
5. Dip an eggplant slice in the flour covering both sides, then dip into the non-dairy milk to cover then into the panko mixture to cover both sides completely. Place on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining eggplant slices.
6. Using pan spray, lightly spray the top of the eggplant. Flip the eggplant slices and lightly spray the second side. Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown on the first side. Flip the eggplant slices over again and bake until golden brown on second side, another 10-12 minutes.
7. For service, place the marinara sauce down in a 2” hotel pan. Place the eggplant slices on top in a shingle pattern. Pour the white bean alfredo sauce over the top and garnish with fresh basil and oregano.
