INGREDIENTS
150g Eggplant
2 Eggs
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella
1 slice Whole Wheat Bread
1 medium Tomato (sliced)
2 sprays Olive Oil
3 leaves Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly salt the slices and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another dish, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Dip each eggplant slice first in the beaten eggs then coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
Place the coated eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the eggplant is tender and the coating is crispy.
Meanwhile, toast the whole wheat bread lightly.
Once the eggplant is done, layer a baked slice on the toasted bread, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly on top, add tomato slices, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Optional: Broil the assembled sandwich for 2 minutes to melt the cheese slightly before serving.
