By á-24734

Ingredients

• 1 Eggplant, sliced
• 1/2 Cup Pizza Sauce
• 1/2 Cup Mozzarella Cheese
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• 1/2 tsp. Pepper
• 2 tsp. Olive Oil for brushing
• Toppings as desired

Preparation

Step 1

Slice eggplant and sprinkle with salt on each side; set aside for about 30 minutes and then rinse and pat dry. This will take bitterness out of the eggplant, especially is using larger/older eggplant. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush each side of the eggplant with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place slices on a cooling rack on a cookie sheet lined with foil and bake until softened and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Remove from oven and spread pizza sauce on the eggplant slices. Add cheese and toppings of choice (black olives, pepperoni, mushrooms, etc.). Return to oven and bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
