INGREDIENTS
1 medium slice Eggplant (150g)
2 tablespoons Almond Flour (15g)
3 large Egg Whites (approx. 99g total)
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce (62g)
1 ounce Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1 Whole Wheat Bun (60g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into approximately 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Prepare a coating station by placing almond flour in a shallow dish and lightly beating 3 egg whites in another dish.
Dip each eggplant slice first in the egg whites and then coat thoroughly with the almond flour. Arrange the slices on the baking sheet.
Bake the eggplant slices in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crisp.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Assemble the sandwich by placing the baked eggplant on the bottom half of the whole wheat bun. Spoon over the warmed marinara sauce, then layer with part-skim mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
Place the assembled sandwich under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove carefully, top with the bun's other half, and serve immediately.
