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.
