INGREDIENTS
150g Eggplant
1 Large Egg
30g Panko Breadcrumbs
56g Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (approx. 2 slices)
62g Marinara Sauce (1/4 cup)
140g Whole Wheat Bread (2 slices)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
Slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch rounds. Lightly salt the slices and let them sit for a few minutes to remove excess moisture, then pat dry.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg. In another plate, spread out the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each eggplant slice into the beaten egg, ensuring a light coating, then dredge in the panko breadcrumbs until evenly covered.
Place the breaded eggplant slices on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
While the eggplant bakes, lightly toast the whole wheat bread slices.
Assemble the sandwich by layering the crispy eggplant on one slice of toasted bread. Top with marinara sauce and then the low-fat mozzarella cheese.
For a melty finish, place the assembled open-faced sandwich under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese softens slightly (optional).
Top with the second bread slice, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
