Try these crispy pizzas made with eggplant crusts and you won't be disappointed! Such a hit with my family!
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 dsh. red pepper flakes
1 dsh. dried basil
1 dsh. dried oregano
1 lrg. eggplant
1 c. mozzarella cheese
8 oz. turkey pepperoni
1 dsh. garlic powder
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
2 egg
Wash eggplant. Slice into 1/2-inch slices. Do not peel.
Dip half of the eggplant slices into the egg and then into the Parmesan cheese on one side then place on a baking sheet Parmesan side down.
Top each slice with a sprinkle of raw mozzarella (or pepper jack) cheese and pepperoni. Sprinkle with garlic powder, basil, and oregano.
Dip the other half of the eggplant slices in egg and then Parmesan cheese and place cheese side up on top of the pepperoni halves.
Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with crushed red pepper if desired.
Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Turn with spatula. Bake 15 minutes on the other side.
Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
My kids loved dipping them in organic tomato and basil pasta sauce, but they are great all by themselves!
