Its Wednesday so it’s time for some hump day treats! One of my favorite things to get at an Italian restaurant is eggplant parm. I have honestly never had a bad eggplant parm from anywhere I have been to in my entire life, but I was always curious was there another way I could get the same taste of eggplant parm without having to coat it in breading? The answer is YES! There is another option and it is called Eggplant Pizza. Who would of that this was possible? Once again thanks to Tasty on Buzzfeed they have given me the perfect recipe to create this. Here is also a video of it being made which is sometimes helpful to see someone do it themselves. Eggplant Pizza
Ingredients:
1 jar of classic tomato sauce
1 large globe eggplant
Salt
Olive Oil
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 cup cheddar cheese
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F/180˚C.
2. Slice the eggplant into ½-inch pieces. If you want to make them a little thicker or thinner totally up to your personal preference.
3. Salt the slices and leave them to “sweat” for 20 minutes then wipe them off. Use a paper towel to wipe them off rather than a kitchen towel.
4. Slather each slice with olive oil. You can do this with also a cooking brush if you don’t want to get your hands all greasy.
5. Bake for 25 minutes.
6. In a medium bowl, combine all pizza sauce ingredients and stir until its all mixed together.
7. Remove eggplant slices from the oven and pour about 2 tablespoons of the sauce mixture onto each slice.
8. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar on each slice.
9. Put the slices back in the oven for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
10. Allow to cool before serving. Last thing you want to do is burn the roof of your mouth. OUCH!
Hope you all Enjoy!
