Baked Eggplant Parmesan Sliders are a delicious and healthy twist on the classic Italian dish. These sliders are perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, and they are sure to satisfy your cravings for something savory and satisfying.
To make these sliders, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 large eggplant, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 slider buns
To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
Dip each eggplant slice into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated eggplant slices onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the eggplant slices for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the eggplant slices from the oven and top each one with a spoonful of marinara sauce and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
To assemble the sliders, place one eggplant slice on the bottom half of each slider bun. Top with additional marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese, if desired. Place the top half of the slider bun on top of the eggplant slice and serve immediately.
