Eggplant Pizzas

I have been seeing these on Pinterest for a long time, so I finally made them. I had never cooked eggplant before, so it was fun to try something new. These are actually extremely easy to make.

Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

 2 large eggplants
Jar of Marinara sauce
Pepperonis
2 cups shredded Mozzarella
Olive oil for drizzling
Salt and Pepper to taste



Instructions

 Cut the eggplants into rounds with about 1/2 inch thickness, like shown. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line pan with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Cook in oven for 5 minutes on each side.

 Spread marinara sauce on one side of each eggplant. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and add pepperonis. Bake until cheese s melted and slightly browned.

Serve with wine and a caesar salad. These were super good, and reminded me a lot of portobello mushrooms in texture.

From one newbie to another, enjoy!
