Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat two rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray. Set aside.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: myriad-pro, Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;"> 2. Place egg whites in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl combine panko, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder and salt. Trim ends off eggplants and cut each eggplant crosswise into three-quarter inch slices. One at a time, dip eggplant slices in egg whites, then panko mixture, arranging coated slices on prepared baking sheets. Bake until eggplants are tender and golden brown, about 25 minutes.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: myriad-pro, Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;"> 3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over high heat, bring chicken broth to a boil. Stir in bulgar, cover, turn off heat and set aside for 30 minutes.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: myriad-pro, Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;"> 4. While the eggplant is cooking and the bulgar is softening, combine tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic and eight basil leaves in a food processor and pulse to make a chunky sauce. Transfer to a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened slightly, 8 to 10 minutes.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: myriad-pro, Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;"> 5. Remove eggplant from oven and preheat broiler. Arrange an oven rack about 8  inches from heating element.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: myriad-pro, Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;"> 6. Spoon tomato sauce over eggplant slices, dividing it evenly. Sprinkle mozzarella over tomato sauce, dividing it evenly. Use a spatula to place six eggplant slices on top of six others, making six two-slice stacks on one baking sheet. Broil until mozzarella is browning on top and melted in the middle, about three minutes.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: myriad-pro, Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;"> 7. Meanwhile, chop or thinly slice the remaining four basil leaves. Stir basil and pine nuts into bulgar. Serve alongside the eggplant.</div> <div> <br /></div>
