Ingredients

  • 1 small eggplant

  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 3 Tbsp. shredded Parmesan
  • ½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 4 slices Italian bread
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 5 oz. baby spinach
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes

  4. Broil the eggplant slices until brown and soft on both sides (2-3 minutes per side). Broil the bread until toasted (1 minute per side).
