Eggplant Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 medium size eggplant
• 4 tbsp marinara sauce
• 4 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced or grated
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Slice eggplant into ¾ inch thick slices and brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Generously sprinkle with salt and minced garlic. Then, transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until eggplant is slightly tender but not soft.
3. Remove eggplant from the oven, top with a thin layer of sauce and sprinkle with chopped basil. Add mozzarella cheese and top with another pinch of salt.
4. Transfer back to oven and broil until cheese is melted and lightly brown, about 4 minutes. Finally, top with more basil and enjoy.

Notes

Do your best to choose an eggplant that is mostly uniform in size. This will create the most similar in size pizzas.
