INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium Eggplant (150g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese (28g)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce (62g)
2 slices Whole Wheat Bread (70g total)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (5g)
3 Fresh Basil leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds and lightly brush them with olive oil.
Dip each eggplant slice in whole wheat breadcrumbs to coat lightly. For extra crunch, you can double-dip by briefly returning to a light oil mist.
Place the breaded eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the eggplant slices for 20-25 minutes until they are crisp and golden, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
Once baked, layer a slice of whole wheat bread with tomato sauce, a baked eggplant slice, then sprinkle Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses on top.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Optionally, you can assemble a second layer or toast the assembled sandwich in the oven for 5 more minutes to let the cheeses melt further.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
