Ingredients
- 2 prepared pizza crust (or recipe for pizza dough)
- tomato sauce (your favorite)
- 1 eggplant
- flour
- salt
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 14 cup parmesan cheese
- 12 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Peel eggplant and cut into 1 inch round circles.
- Lay single file on baking sheet and lightly salt to coat eggplant.
- Place 2nd baking sheet on top of eggplants and weight down top with a couple cans of whatever you have in the cupboard.
- Let sit for about 2 hours, at this point liquid will have gathered at the bottom of the sheets (this is the bitter).
- Once the 2 hours have past rinse off the eggplant and pat dry.
- If you are making pizza dough you can start the eggplants at the same time, that way they will both be ready for the next stage together.
- Prepare 1-2 pizza shells, cover with your favorite tomato sauce.
- Take your rinsed and dried eggplant and coat in flour, heat a small sauce pan and add the 1/2 cup of oil.
- Once hot begin deep frying the eggplant slices until golden brown, place on paper towel to get rid of excess oil.
- once your eggplants are finished your ready to finish the pizza.
- Layer with eggplants, mozzarella & Parmesan.
- Or leave out cheese for a Vegan version.
- Bake in a 375F oven until pizza shell and cheese is golden brown.
- Serve with a nice green salad and enjoy!
