INGREDIENTS
150g Eggplant
30g Almond Flour
1 Whole Egg
2 oz Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 Whole Wheat Sandwich Bun (approx. 50g)
1 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly season with salt, pepper, dried basil, and garlic powder.
Place the whole egg in a shallow bowl and whisk lightly. In another shallow dish, add the almond flour.
Dip each eggplant slice into the egg, then coat it evenly with almond flour.
Arrange the coated eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are golden and crispy.
While the eggplant is baking, split the whole wheat sandwich bun and warm it slightly in the oven or on a skillet.
Once the eggplant is done, layer a few slices onto the bottom half of the bun. Spoon marinara sauce over the eggplant, then top with low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Place the sandwich briefly back in the oven (or under a broiler) for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
Assemble the sandwich, add extra fresh basil if desired, and serve immediately.
