INGREDIENTS
1 medium slice Eggplant (120g)
1 Whole-Grain Bun (70g)
1 large Egg
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
3 slices Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
2 tablespoons Whole-Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
- Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Lightly season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. 
- Prepare a shallow dish by beating the egg. In another shallow dish, spread the whole-wheat breadcrumbs. 
- Dip each eggplant slice first into the beaten egg, then coat evenly with breadcrumbs. 
- Place the coated eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is crispy and the eggplant is tender. 
- While the eggplant bakes, toast the whole-grain bun lightly in the oven or on a skillet. 
- Once baked, top the eggplant slices with marinara sauce and layer with 3 slices of mozzarella cheese. Place back in the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts. 
- Assemble the sandwich by placing the cheesy, saucy eggplant on the toasted bun. Add extra salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
