Eggplant is a great vehicle for flavor. It’s pretty mild on its own so it pairs really well with complex flavors, making it a great base for a recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 large eggplant, cut into 1-inch thick slices
- 1 (8 oz) grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 3 mince garlic cloves
- ½ cup leaves torn basil
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
- On two rimmed baking sheets, lay the eggplant slices flat in a single layer
- Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast until the eggplant starts to brown on the top, about 8-10 minutes
- Remove the baked eggplant from the oven and turn your broiler on
- Sprinkle each slice of eggplant with the minced garlic, then smother with mozzarella cheese, a few tomato slices and some basil leaves
- Broil the pizzas until the cheese is melted and the tomatoes are tender, about 2-3 minutes (Be sure to watch them, they can burn easily)
- When done, sprinkle with grated Parmesan
- Served hot
Enjoy your Eggplant Pizza!
