Crispy Roasted Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich
Enjoy a satisfying twist on a classic with roasted eggplant rounds layered with melted light mozzarella and tangy tomato sauce, nestled between a crisp whole wheat bun. The eggplant is lightly breaded with herbs and golden toasted for a delightful crunch, making each bite both hearty and flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (150g)
3 ounces Light Mozzarella Cheese (~85g)
1 Whole Wheat Bun (75g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (122g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (31g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
5 Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tsp Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil and season with dried oregano.
Sprinkle the whole wheat breadcrumbs evenly over the eggplant slices to form a crispy coating.
Place the breaded eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for about 20-25 minutes until golden and tender.
While the eggplant is roasting, warm the tomato sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat and add a few torn basil leaves for extra flavor.
Once roasted, layer the eggplant slices with the light mozzarella cheese and heat for an additional 3-5 minutes in the oven until the cheese begins to melt.
Split the whole wheat bun and lightly toast it. Assemble the sandwich by spooning a layer of tomato sauce on the bottom half, adding the cheesy eggplant slices, and topping with fresh basil leaves before covering with the top half of the bun.
