Recipe Method

1. Coat each eggplant slice on both sides with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange in a single layer on an extra-large baking sheet. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat or 4 to 6 minutes or just until tender; turn once.

2. For bean mixture, coat an unheated large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat. Add onion and garlic to skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or just until tender, stirring frequently. Add kidney beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, cinnamon and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.

3. For sauce, in a medium saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and 1/4 tsp. salt. Stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat; stir in nutmeg.

4. Coat a 3-quart rectangular baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange half of the eggplant in the dish. Spread bean mixture over the eggplant; top with remaining eggplant. Pour sauce on top, spreading evenly to cover. In a bowl, combine bread crumbs and oil. Sprinkle over sauce. Bake in a 350 F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until heated through and bread crumbs are golden brown.
