INGREDIENTS
1 portion Eggplant (150g)
2 slices Whole Wheat Bread (60g)
0.33 cup Tomato Sauce (80g)
0.5 cup Light Mozzarella Cheese (56g)
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese (5g)
0.25 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
3 large Egg Whites (90g)
Fresh Basil sprigs for garnish
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds and lightly brush or spray with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Italian herbs.
Coat the eggplant slices in whole wheat breadcrumbs. Arrange the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy, flipping halfway through.
Meanwhile, whisk the egg whites and season lightly with salt and pepper. Pour them into a non-stick skillet over medium heat to form a thin omelet, cooking until set. Once cooked, cut the egg white omelet into sandwich-sized pieces.
Lightly toast the whole wheat bread slices. Spread a layer of tomato sauce on each slice.
Layer the baked eggplant, the egg white patty, and sprinkle with light mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on one slice of bread. Add a few fresh basil leaves for a vibrant touch.
Top with the second slice of bread, press gently, and if desired, place the sandwich back on the oven for 3-5 minutes to melt the cheeses.
Slice in half and serve warm, enjoying a balanced blend of crisp textures, melty cheeses, and rich flavors.
