INGREDIENTS
1 slice Whole Grain Bread (40g)
150g Eggplant, sliced
1/3 cup Marinara Sauce (80g)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (56g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
2 whole Eggs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly crispy, flipping halfway.
Toast the whole grain bread until it is lightly crisp.
While the eggplant bakes, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once baked, layer the eggplant slices on top of the toasted bread. Spoon the warmed marinara sauce evenly over the eggplant.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese over the marinara, then top with grated Parmesan cheese.
In a non-stick skillet, cook the eggs to your liking (poached, over-easy, or sunny-side up work well).
Carefully place the cooked eggs on top of your assembled sandwich. Serve immediately while the cheese is melty and the flavors are fresh.
