In our quest to expand our low carbohydrate menu and to use up food we have coming out of our garden I did a bit of online searching and came up with my version of eggplant pizzas.
It was so easy, and I used only stuff I had in the house to
make this delicious appetizer. My sister
wouldn’t touch them and Ben ate 5 before I could ask if he liked them.
He clearly did.
I don’t really have a recipe for this but I’ll give you a
step by step and you can modify to your own liking. If I was to plan on making this dish I would
have had a different kind of cheese on hand, and probably actual tomato sauce…but
this worked!
Mini Eggplant Pizza’s
EggplantTomato paste
Sharp Cheddar Cheese (maybe use mozz. next time?)
Garlic powder
Cheese
EVOO spray
Place into 350 degree oven for 7 minutes and then flip and cook for another 7 minutes.
I did this in order to try and crisp up the eggplant. It didn’t
really work.
Take eggplant out of the oven and cover with tomato paste,
garlic powder, and shredded cheese. As
noted above I used shredded sharp cheddar because that’s what we had in the
house. If I had planned on making this I
would have most likely gotten mozzarella cheese, or a pizza cheese mix.
Throw back in the oven for 15ish minutes. I would just watch them. Honestly I forgot
about mine and don’t know how long they were in there, but because the eggplant
doesn’t really get too crispy you couldn’t tell at all that they had been
forgotten about. I mean don’t judge, I
was cooking this and got sidetracked.
And so did Mabel…she was all about what was cooking in the
kitchen last night!
Anyways, back to the eggplant. They turned out wonderfully and I’ll
certainly make them again….maybe next time with actual pizza sauce, the right
cheese, and pepperoni if I have it. but
honestly even with makeshift ingredients they were fantastic!
Enjoy!
