INGREDIENTS
100g Eggplant
2 large Eggs
2 tbsp Almond Flour
1/3 cup Marinara Sauce
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
2 slices Whole Grain Bread
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the 2 eggs. In another shallow dish, add the almond flour.
Dip each eggplant slice into the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip off, then coat evenly with almond flour.
Place the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, toast the whole grain bread slices lightly in a toaster or on a skillet.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading marinara sauce on one slice of toasted bread, layering the baked eggplant slices, topping with part-skim mozzarella and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Optionally, return the assembled open-faced sandwich to the oven for 3-5 minutes to melt the cheeses, then top with the second slice of bread, slice in half, and serve warm.
