INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium Eggplant (~150g)
1 Whole Wheat Bun
1 oz Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
2 Tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg White
2 oz Turkey Slices
Olive Oil Spray
1 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
Mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs with the dried basil and oregano in a shallow bowl.
Dip each eggplant slice into the egg white, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
During the final 5 minutes of baking, place a slice of turkey on each eggplant round and top with 1 oz low-fat mozzarella; allow the cheese to melt.
Lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the oven or on a skillet.
Assemble the sandwich by layering the crispy eggplant with melted cheese and turkey onto the bun, then drizzle with marinara sauce. Season with pepper and additional salt if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, flavorful Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich.
