Instructions
Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Spray/brush each eggplant pizza round on both sides with EVOO and place on baking paper.
Cook for 10 minutes or until slightly browned on one side. Flip eggplant over and bake for a further 10 minutes on the other side before removing from the oven.
Reduce oven temperature down to about 200 C (390 F.) You don't want to overcook the eggplant as it is the base for your pizza.
Cover each piece of eggplant with some blitzed or slice tomato (or alternative). Add toppings of choice and top with a sprinkling of cheese.
Bake in the hot oven for 5-7 minutes or until cheese has melted and browned.
You can top the cooked pizza with fresh ingredients such as rocket, basil, goats cheese etc. You can also cook off your fillings prior to adding to your pizza if you wish to but this is not necessary., unless you use raw meat such as chicken or perhaps onion or other hard vegetables.
Alternative Topping Suggestions
Try mushrooms, red peppers, artichokes, olives, fresh basil, rocket, goats cheese, pumpkin slices, anchovies, fresh rocket/arugula, fresh mozzarella, herbs, bacon, onion, chili, chicken or beef. You can use tinned tomatoes, tomato paste or Marinara pasta sauce instead of tomatoes.
