INGREDIENTS
0.5 medium Eggplant (approx 150g)
2 slices Whole Wheat Bread
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
3 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp 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. Lightly brush or spray both sides with olive oil.
Combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dredge each eggplant slice in the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
Arrange the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
While the eggplant bakes, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Toast the whole wheat bread slices until lightly crisp. Then, layer one slice with the baked eggplant, pour a layer of warm marinara sauce over it, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly, and add a dusting of Parmesan cheese.
Optionally, return the assembled open-faced sandwich to the oven for 3-5 minutes just to melt the cheese further.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, crispy baked eggplant parmesan sandwich.
