INGREDIENTS
150g Eggplant
30g Chickpea Flour
80g Marinara Sauce
1 Whole Wheat Bun
2 oz Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 Large Egg
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat dry to remove excess moisture.
Set up a dredging station by placing the chickpea flour in a shallow dish. Lightly coat each eggplant slice in the chickpea flour, ensuring an even, thin coating.
Arrange the coated eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices are crispy and lightly golden.
While the eggplant is baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and fry the egg to your preferred doneness.
To assemble the sandwich, lightly toast the whole wheat bun. Spread the marinara sauce on the bun base, layer the baked eggplant slices, and top with the low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Place the toasted bun with the assembled fillings back into the oven or under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese begins to melt.
Remove from the oven and top with the fried egg. Close the sandwich, slice if desired, and serve immediately.
