Our Bossy Eggplant Parma is Joey Zaza’s take on the Italian traditional Parmigiana di Melanzane. Saucy and authentic, this eggplant parmigiana sandwich is packed with oven-roasted eggplant topped with Nonna’s secret Napoli sauce, red peppers, mozzarella, basil pesto on a bed of rocket and garnished with fresh basil and parmigiano reggiano.
Our vegan option for Bossy Eggplant Parma passes on the cheese and swaps out the bread with dairy-free, gluten-free bread. If ‘ya want yours vegan, just let us know!
