INGREDIENTS
0.5 medium Eggplant (≈150g)
2 slices Whole Grain Bread (≈70g)
0.5 cup Marinara Sauce (≈125g)
0.25 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (≈20g)
2 ounces Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (≈56g)
1 spray Olive Oil
Fresh Basil Leaves
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. Lightly spray both sides with olive oil spray and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Arrange the eggplant slices on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until they become crispy and tender.
Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices in the oven or a toaster to add extra texture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on one slice of bread. Layer the baked eggplant slices, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan and place the low-fat mozzarella evenly over the top.
Optionally, return the assembled open-faced sandwich to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the mozzarella slightly melts.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, top with the second bread slice if you prefer a closed sandwich, and serve immediately.
