This Eggplant Parmesan Panini Burger is a delicious twist on the classic Italian dish. Crispy fried eggplant, gooey mozzarella, and savory marinara sauce come together in a burger that's perfect for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients: 4 burger buns. 4 slices of eggplant 1/2 inch thick. 1 cup marinara sauce. 4 slices of mozzarella cheese. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. 2 eggs. 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves. Salt and pepper to taste. Olive oil for frying.
Instructions: Warm up your grill or panini press. Put some breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Put the eggs in a second shallow dish and beat them. First, coat each eggplant slice well in the beaten eggs. Then, coat them well in the breadcrumb mixture. In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant slices in oil until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Put paper towels down to dry. Spread marinara sauce on the bottom half of each burger bun and top with a slice of mozzarella cheese. Put fresh basil leaves on top of each bun after adding a fried eggplant slice. Add the top half of the bun to the sandwich and press it together a little. Place the panini burgers on a grill or in a panini press that has already been heated.
