Ingredients
-
1 eggplant
-
1/2 cup Daisy Brand 2% Cottage Cheese
-
1 tablespoon Daisy Brand Light Sour Cream
-
1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 teaspoon water
-
2 dashes non-stick olive oil spray
-
1/2 cup tomato sauce
-
1/8 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Directions
Remove stem of eggplant and slice into 1/4 inch slices. Pre-heat conventional oven to 375 degrees. In a small mixing bowl mix cottage cheese, sour cream, and grated parmesan. Set aside. Lay two slices of eggplant onto a plate and add water, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for approximately 1 minute or until slightly softened. Spoon a 1/4 cup of the cottage cheese/sour cream mixture on to the widest part of each slice of eggplant and roll each forward to form a cylinder. Spray a small baking dish with olive oil non-stick spray, lay eggplant cylinders side-by-side in the middle of the baking dish. Lightly spray manicottis with the olive oil non-stick spray as well. Spoon tomato sauce over the eggplant. Sprinkle the top with Italian seasoning. Cover the dish with aluminum foil making sure that the foil doesn’t touch the sauced eggplant. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove dish from oven. Using a spatula carefully remove manicottis and place on a dinner plate. Spoon any remaining tomato sauce over manicottis and serve.
