I originally saw this recipe on Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals show. I tried it out but ended up having to modify a few things to make it work out better. Her recipe seemed to have too much toppings. Also instead of regular hummus I used garlic hummus. Ingredients:
salt |
pepper |
1 eggplant |
extra virgin olive oil |
10 ounces frozen spinach |
1 tablespoon garlic powder |
4 ounces garlic hummus |
1/2 cup breadcrumbs |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese |
1 tablespoon parsley flakes |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cut eggplant lengthwise, 1 inch thick.
3. Brush eggplant steak with extra virgin olive oil.
4. Season with salt and pepper on each side.
5. Grill 3-4 minutes for small eggplant or 4-6 minutes for large eggplant, turning occasionally, until tender.
6. Defrost spinach in microwave, then squeeze dry when cooled.
7. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in skillet.
8. Add spinach and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and heat thoroughly.
9. Place eggplants on a greased baking sheet.
10. Top each steak with a thin layer of spinach mixture, then hummus.
11. Toss breadcrumbs, parmesean cheese, and parsley flakes with 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
12. Put breadcrumb mixture on top of steaks then bake til brown, about 5 minutes.
