Mini Eggplant Pizzas
I came up with this idea the other day when I was trying to think of an alternative to pizza dough for pizza for a change. I tried it out tonight and it worked like a charm! It's warm, hearty and delicious!
What You'll Need:
An eggplant
Pizza sauce
Pizza toppings (Mushrooms, Onions, Mozzarella, Parmesan, etc. Whatever you like on your pizza. I even tried out some veggie pepperoni tonight!)
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 425 F.
Slice eggplant into slices and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with some extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and black pepper. I also roasted some mushrooms and red onion on the same pan. Roast for 5-6 minutes until slightly tender. Remove eggplant from the oven and spread each slice with roughly 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce depending on the size of the slice of eggplant. Sprinkle with 1-2 teaspoons of Parmesan cheese and arrange pizza toppings on top of sauce. Top with fresh mozzarella and put them back into the oven. Bake for 4-6 minutes until cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
How's that for a nice little twist on pizza without the dough?
