INGREDIENTS
150g Eggplant
0.33 cup Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs (30g)
1 large Egg
0.5 cup Marinara Sauce
0.5 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella (shredded)
3 oz Lean Turkey Breast Slices
1 Whole Grain Hero Roll
2 sprays Olive Oil
3 Fresh Basil leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with olive oil cooking spray.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch rounds. In a shallow dish, whisk the egg. In another dish, spread the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each eggplant slice first in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices are crisp and golden.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan. Once the eggplant slices are baked, spoon a generous amount of marinara over each slice and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella. Place back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
Slice the whole grain hero roll open. Layer the baked eggplant slices topped with melted cheese and marinara, add lean turkey breast slices, and garnish with fresh basil.
Serve warm and enjoy your Crispy Baked Eggplant Parmesan Hero.
