INGREDIENTS
150g Eggplant
30g Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 slices Whole Wheat Bread
0.33 cup Marinara Sauce
2 oz Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
0.5 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch rounds and lightly salt them to draw out moisture; pat dry after 10 minutes.
Dredge the eggplant slices in whole wheat breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated. For extra crispiness, lightly spray or brush with olive oil.
Place the breadcrumb-coated eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway until golden and crispy.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Toast the whole wheat bread slices lightly in a toaster or on a pan.
Assemble the sandwich by layering baked eggplant slices on one slice of toasted bread. Spoon a layer of warm marinara sauce over the eggplant, then top with low-fat mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
Optionally, return the assembled open-faced sandwich to the oven for 3-5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt slightly. Top with the second slice of bread and serve immediately.
