Yesterday's post didn't perform well because I couldn't put the recipe well, so apologies.
Now I've made it to day 2. Today I tried keto eggplant lasagna, and it was surprisingly comforting. Slicing the eggplant felt a little tricky at first, but once it came together, the layers looked and tasted amazing
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized eggplants
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup low-carb tomato sauce
- ½ cup water
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Wash and dry the eggplants, then slice them lengthwise into ¼-inch thick slices.
- Heat olive oil in a pan, cook the ground beef with garlic, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano until browned.
- Add tomato sauce and water, then simmer for 10 minutes.
- In a baking dish, layer eggplant slices, meat sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
- Top with Parmesan and the remaining mozzarella.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 25–30 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
What should I cook for Day 3 to keep the challenge going?
