Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich is an Italian cuisine.
It is made with a shallow or deep-fried slice of eggplant, layered with cheese and tomato or marinara sauce, then baked. Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich is tangy and cheesy.
This is my favorite sandwich of all time. I used fresh homemade Marinara Sauce in this recipe. I have already shared the recipe of Homemade Marinara Sauce.
