Crispy Baked Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich
Enjoy a delightful twist on a classic favorite with tender baked eggplant, a light but crunchy whole wheat breadcrumb coating, and a savory blend of low-fat mozzarella and marinara. Extra lean turkey breast adds a protein boost while fresh ingredients come together in a warm, toasted sandwich that’s both satisfying and flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium Eggplant (150g)
2 slices Whole Wheat Bread (64g total)
1 ounce Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1/3 cup Marinara Sauce (80g)
2 large Egg Whites (60g total)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (15g)
2 ounces Sliced Turkey Breast (56g)
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with olive oil cooking spray.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg whites and set aside.
Place the whole wheat breadcrumbs in another shallow dish. Dip each eggplant slice into the egg whites, then dredge evenly in the breadcrumbs.
Arrange the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake the eggplant for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even crispness.
While the eggplant bakes, toast the whole wheat bread slices until they are warm and slightly crisp.
Assemble the sandwich by layering one toasted bread slice with baked eggplant, a layer of sliced turkey breast, a drizzle of marinara sauce, and shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Place the remaining bread slice on top and serve immediately while warm.
