Eggplant Pizza

This dish can be cut into small pieces to serve as an appetizer, or it can be a delicious light entree. The eggplant, artichokes and tomatoes are loaded with cancer-fighting nutrients, and count toward your 5 daily servings of fruit and vegetables.

To avoid the bitter taste of eggplant, salt both sides of the slices, let stand for 30 minutes, then rinse well in cool water. Pat the slices dry and use according to recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 package frozen bread dough, thawed
  • 1/4 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 medium eggplant, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch slices and grilled until browned
  • 8 Roma tomatoes, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1/2 cup artichoke hearts
  • 1 Tbsp. black olives, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic salt
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Press bread dough onto a pizza pan or cookie sheet, forming a crust. Rub dough lightly with olive oil. Top crust with eggplant, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and olives. Sprinkle with garlic salt, basil, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheese. Bake 15 to 20 minutes on middle rack of oven until cheese is bubbling and crust is lightly browned.

Serves 8. Approximate per serving: 290 calories; 7 grams of fat

Hello Barb,
Thank you for this recipe "Eggplant Pizza", what a wonderful new recipe for my files, I love Eggplant, and everything else this pizza has on it. It will be my next pizza that I make. I do make my own pizza dough from scratch in my bread maker on the dough cycle. I can't wait to try it.

Take good care and again thanks for this recipe,
