Ingredients

1/4 cup minced fresh basil
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 medium eggplant
2 large tomatoes
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove, peeled
12 slices Italian bread (1/2 inch thick), toasted

Directions

Combine the basil, oil, oregano, pepper and salt; set aside. Place egg whites and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Cut eggplant lengthwise into six slices. Dip slices in egg whites, then coat in crumbs.
Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until tender and golden brown, turning once.
Cut each tomato into six slices; place two slices on each eggplant slice. Spoon reserved basil mixture over tomatoes and sprinkle with cheeses. Bake for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Meanwhile, rub garlic over one side of each slice of bread; discard garlic. Place each eggplant stack on a slice of bread, garlic side up. Top with remaining bread, garlic side down. Yield: 6 servings.

This recipe was delicious and relatively easy to make. The eggplant cooked perfectly and the mozzarella cheese really made the meal come together. I will make this recipe again.

While making these sandwiches I thought they were a lot of work, but it was well worth it! The whole family enjoyed it, even the kids who claimed they never had eggplant before. (So they think:) My husband suggested chopping up some green olives into the seasoning. I think I will try that next time. We will be making this recipe again!
