Ingredients
  

  • 1 large eggplant
  • 1 jar marinara sauce
  • 1 ball fresh mozzarella
  • 4 whole wheat buns/rolls
  • 1 Tb Italian seasoning
  • 1 Tb garlic powder
  • 1-2 Tb olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Slice eggplant into quarter-inch thick rounds. Lay eggplant flat on a paper towel and lightly sprinkle with salt. Let the eggplant sit for 10-15 minutes. Then, using another paper towel, wipe off excess moisture and salt from eggplant. This helps the eggplant have a firmer texture.
  • Season both sides of the eggplant slices with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
  • Heat skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Then add the eggplant slices to the skillet and cook for 3 to 6 minutes on each side.
  • Once the eggplant is almost done cooking, pour marinara sauce over the eggplant. Use as much or as little sauce as you would like, but make sure each slice is covered.
  • Slice the mozzarella and place a slice of cheese on each eggplant.
  • Assemble sandwich by adding one to two cheesy eggplant slices to your buns. Enjoy!
