Quick and Easy Vegetarian Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich is the perfect comfort food recipe for any meal. It takes only 30 minutes to make this sandwich. Don’t you just love all that cheesy goodness?



This eggplant Parmesan sandwich is now my favorite sandwich in the world.

Its the best comfort food recipe to make and its the most delicious recipe ever!

So, in celebration of August being the month for Sandwiches, I figured I would bring you my favorite sandwich recipe ever!

Look at all that ooey-goey melted Mozzarella cheese!!

There is something so comforting about melted mozzarella isn’t it? Even my Mozzarella Cheese Sandwich is a drool worthy because of all the melted cheese.

The best part of this sandwich is that I used Aquafaba to bread the eggplant. In the past, I have used almond milk and flax seed meal which were ok.

However, Aquafaba is completely revolutionized everything I do. It works so well when acting as a binding agent in burgers and other patties.

Now, you can go for your store bought pizza or marinara sauce for the Parmesan. However, I highly recommend my homemade pizza sauce because it is made with all fresh ingredients. Plus, it has an extra amount of garlic which made it that much more delicious.

You can also add red or green bell peppers, onions and mushrooms to this recipe. I kept it as simple as possible, but, I do love some red peppers in the sandwich

Baking the eggplants is a good option for this recipe. However, I found that shallow frying them is much better. I used very little oil to shallow fry about 7 eggplant rounds.

Two of these rounds didn’t make it to the sandwich!

Ciabatta worked so well for this sandwich. Nothing kills the sandwich experience like a stale bread. So, if you can’t find fresh ciabatta, use a fresh hoagie sandwich bun.

For best results, you can do an open bake first. Once the cheese has melted, you can cover the top. I oiled the top part just a little bit before covering it.

I am not the only one celebrating August Sandwich month. I got together with other Sunday Supper Bloggers to bring you all kinds of recipes.
