One of my favorite guilty pleasure foods is the eggplant Parmesan sub at my local pizzeria. It is made up of a crusty sub roll bursting with thin slices of deep fried eggplant, marinara sauce, and enough mozzarella cheese to cover a small pizza. It is absolutely delicious, in the way that anything deep fried and cheese-covered is delicious. Unfortunately (or maybe not), the guilt tends to outweigh the pleasure. For this reason, I am constantly on the lookout for eggplant parm sandwiches that are more kind to the conscience (and waistline).
