healthy eggplant parmesian sandwich
i saw this on "just cook this" the tv show on discovery health. how simple and how awesome!
1 large globe eggplant, cut into eight 1/2"-thick slices 8 1/2"-thick tomato slices 4 crusty Italian type rolls, split in half 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese 1 bunch fresh basil Olive oil Kosher Salt Fresh Ground Pepper Heat grill to medium. Brush both sides of eggplant and tomato with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill eggplant on both sides until soft and marked with grill lines, about seven minutes. Add cheese to the top of the eggplant slices, then add the tomatoes to the grill (they shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes each side, max). Add the buns to the grill and grill lightly. Build it this way: bun, 2 slices eggplant, basil leaves to cover, 2 slices of tomato and the other bun. |
I'll have to try this! I love basil. I have made a "healthy" eggplant parmesan before by dipping sliced eggplant in eggwhites and then in Progresso italian bread crumbs and baking them in the oven for about 30 minutes at 350.
*Note: eggplant tends to be a little slimy, a way to eliminate this is by sprinkling slices with salt on both sides and letting sit for about 20 minutes then rinse salt off. I found it fascination how much liquid came out of them when I did this. Nearly flooded my counter top...oops! |
omg - that sounds awesome. especially the basil.

Fresh basil is the key ingredient whenever I make dishes like this or most Italian pasta entres. Yum.
Oh by the way...it's spelled parmessan or in the Italian language "parmigiano", and BTW if your acting like a chef at least spell it right. :thumbsup: |
