INGREDIENTS
150g Eggplant
1 Whole Grain Bun
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
2 ounces Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 large Egg
1/3 cup Whole-Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 sprays Olive Oil
PREPARATION
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
- Slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Set aside. 
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In another bowl, combine the whole-wheat breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese. 
- Dip each eggplant slice first into the egg, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture. 
- Place the coated eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray both sides with olive oil. 
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the eggplant is golden and crispy. 
- While the eggplant bakes, lightly warm the tomato sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. 
- To assemble the sandwich, split the whole grain bun and layer the baked eggplant slices with tomato sauce and low-fat mozzarella cheese. 
- Place the assembled sandwich under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese melts slightly. 
- Remove from the oven and serve warm.
