INGREDIENTS
150g Eggplant
2 slices High-Protein Whole Wheat Bread
1/3 cup Marinara Sauce
1 oz Parmesan Cheese
1 oz Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
1 large Egg
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 sprays Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Dip each eggplant slice into the beaten egg, ensuring a light coating.
Place the eggplant slices on the baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the eggplant bakes, toast the high-protein whole wheat bread slices until they are just crisp.
Once the eggplant is baked, layer the slices on one piece of toasted bread. Spoon marinara sauce over the eggplant, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan and place slices of fresh mozzarella on top.
Optionally, return the assembled open sandwich to the oven for 3-5 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.
Top with the second slice of toasted bread, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately.
