Eggplant Sandwiches with Avocado & Tomato

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F and spray a large cookie sheet with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Place the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs on three separate dishes good for dredging your eggplant. Dip the eggplant first in the flour, then in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs, covering all sides. Place on a cookie sheet in a single layer.

Step 3

When all of the eggplant slices are coated, pop them in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden, flipping halfway through.

Step 4

Step 5

When your eggplant is done cooking, lay one piece on a plate. Smother a bit of pesto on top of the eggplant, then layer with sliced tomatoes, then avocados.

Step 6

Top with a grind or two of freshly ground pepper, then top with another slice of eggplant. Serve it with a nice side of mixed field greens or a salad.
