Italian-Style Eggplant Parmesan Empanada

A brilliant portable twist on a comforting Italian classic. This savory empanada features tender, golden-brown slices of eggplant layered with a rich, slow-simmered marinara sauce bursting with garlic and basil. It is melted together with a gooey blend of vegan mozzarella and a savory sprinkle of plant-based parmesan. Encased in a flaky, golden pastry shell, every bite delivers the perfect harmony of crispy crust, juicy eggplant, and rich, cheesy comfort.
