INGREDIENTS
0.5 medium Eggplant (~100g)
1 Whole Wheat Roll (60g)
3 ounces Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (85g)
0.25 cup Marinara Sauce (62g)
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
0.25 cup Bread Crumbs (15g)
1 Large Egg
Fresh Basil (4 sprigs)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch rounds. Dip each slice lightly in water, then coat with bread crumbs mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray lightly with cooking spray and bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden, flipping halfway.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small pan over low heat.
While the eggplant bakes, poach the egg by simmering water with a dash of vinegar in a small saucepan and gently cracking the egg into the water for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set.
Slice the whole wheat roll in half and layer the bottom half with baked eggplant slices, pour over marinara sauce, then add the mozzarella cheese followed by the grated Parmesan. Place the poached egg on top and garnish with fresh basil.
Close the sandwich with the top roll and lightly press. Serve immediately while warm.
