INGREDIENTS
1 medium slice Eggplant (150g)
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (20g)
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (10g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (125g)
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1 Whole Wheat Hero Roll (50g)
3 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast (85g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Dip each slice into a lightly beaten egg.
Coat the eggplant slices with whole wheat breadcrumbs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the eggplant slices for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, warm the tomato sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once the eggplant is done, layer the baked eggplant, tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella, and parmesan cheese on the bottom half of the whole wheat hero roll.
Top the layered eggplant with thin slices of grilled chicken breast for an extra protein boost.
Optional: broil the assembled hero for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese further, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Close the hero with the top roll, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
