Eggplant Pizzas

Best Cheese Pizza - Pizza

Eggplant makes a wonderful alternative to your ordinary pizza crust. I have tons of eggplant from my garden so I make these about once a week! Fun way to get your kids to eat their veggies. I suggest adding pepperoni, mushroom, and peppers.

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Beat the eggs in a bowl. Mix the flour salt pepper and oregano in a 1 gallon resealable plastic bag. Dip each eggplant slice in the egg then drop the eggplant in the flour mixture one at a time shaking the bag to coat the eggplant.

Step 3

Drain the eggplant slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Arrange the eggplant in one layer on a baking sheet. Spoon enough pizza sauce to cover each eggplant slice. Top each eggplant with mozzarella cheese.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the mozzarella cheese is melted 5 to 10 minutes.
