- pinch of Salt
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 1 1/2 cups Marinara Sauce
- 8 oz Mozzarella Cheese
- Basil, thinly sliced
How to Make Eggplant Pizza
Slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch pieces.
Salt the eggplant and set on paper towels to draw out some of the moisture – for about 5 minutes.
Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium heat.
Brush the eggplant with oil on both sides then set on the grill pan.
Grill the eggplant for about 5 minutes on each side.
Once the eggplant is golden brown, top with a thin layer of marinara sauce, then top with mozzarella cheese. Heat for another 2 minutes until the cheese is melted. Top with freshly sliced basil and enjoy.
Note:
If you do not own a grill pan, you can also roast the eggplant in a 350° F oven for 15 minutes – turning once while roasting.
