INGREDIENTS
1 medium slice Eggplant (150g)
1 Whole Wheat Bun (60g)
3 ounces Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (85g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1/4 cup Light Breadcrumbs (15g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (62g)
Olive Oil Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly spray both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil spray.
Coat the eggplant slices evenly with light breadcrumbs on both sides for a crispy texture.
Place the breaded eggplant slices on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once baked, layer the eggplant slices with part-skim mozzarella cheese. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading low-fat ricotta cheese on the bottom half of the whole wheat bun, then topping with the cheesy eggplant slices and a generous spoonful of marinara sauce.
Close the sandwich with the top bun and serve immediately while warm.
