INGREDIENTS
200g Eggplant
1 Whole Grain Roll (80g)
3 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (85g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 tbsp Panko Breadcrumbs
0.5 tsp Olive Oil Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly spray both sides with olive oil spray.
Sprinkle or lightly press a tablespoon of panko breadcrumbs onto each eggplant round to form a crispy coating.
Place the eggplant slices on the baking sheet and bake for about 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and tender.
Meanwhile, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once the eggplant is baked, top each slice with a portion of marinara sauce and distribute the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly on top. Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Lightly toast the whole grain roll, then layer with the cheesy eggplant slices.
Assemble the sandwich and serve immediately, enjoying the crispy texture and delicious blend of flavors.
