Eggplant Pizza Recipe

 

 
   


This is a fun and healthy Italian pizza. Easy to make and easy to eat!

 
This recipe originally started as a simple baked dish (read my blog post on it here), but then turned into a delicious pizza topping. I made the pizza with a whole wheat crust which surprisingly tasted really good with the topping. However, I'll probably stick with regular crust, but it is good either way. I hope you enjoy it!

  TIP #1: If you don't have pizza sauce - try a basic Italian sauce.
  TIP #2: As stated above, this pizza recipe actually tastes good on whole wheat dough. Mine was store bought. However, I plan on preparing this again with regular dough too. It works well both ways.
  TIP #3: Make sure you chop your veggies small so that they will cook down quicker.
  TIP#4: As with any recipe, adjust quantities to taste. Use more or less!
