INGREDIENTS
3 medium slices Eggplant (150g total)
0.25 cup Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs (30g)
1.5 oz grated Parmesan Cheese (42g)
0.33 cup Marinara Sauce (82g)
1 large Egg
1 Whole Wheat Bun (60g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into about 3 medium slices. Dip each slice into a lightly beaten egg to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
Coat the eggplant slices evenly with whole wheat bread crumbs. Place the breaded slices on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the eggplant slices for an extra cheesy, crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the eggplant is tender and the coating is golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Slice the whole wheat bun open and lightly toast it if desired.
Assemble the sandwich by layering the crispy baked eggplant slices on the bottom bun, spooning over the warm marinara sauce, and adding any extra Parmesan if preferred. Top with the bun’s other half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, nutritious sandwich!
