Ingredients List
- 2 large eggs
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 3/4 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
- Olive oil, for baking sheet
- 1 medium eggplant (about 1 pound), sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
- 1 loaf (8 ounces) soft Italian bread
- 2 cups store-bought tomato sauce
- 8 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat eggs with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread breadcrumbs in a pie plate or shallow bowl.
Step 2
Oil a rimmed baking sheet. Dip eggplant rounds in egg, then dredge in breadcrumbs, turning to coat completely; transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake (without turning) until golden and tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, split bread lengthwise, and place cut side up on another baking sheet; press gently in centers to create a well. Layer both halves with tomato sauce, eggplant, and cheese. Bake until cheese is browned in spots, 6 to 8 minutes.
