Eggplant Pizza


This is a great recipe for those of you who are eating gluten free or trying to stay away from bread.

It also is a much healthier way to try and get your pizza like fix without eating the real thing!

This recipe creates 4 slices!

Ingredients:


1 Eggplant
Cheese ( light tasty cheese or a parmesan )
chopped tinned tomatoes ( use this as your tomato base, not a tomato paste as that has to much salt and sugar)
your favourite choice of pizza toppings
Oven set to 180'C

Method: 

Simply wash and cut the top of your eggplant, then cut into 4 from top to bottom length ways.
Put each slice on a tray to put in the oven and place a decent amount of tinned tomato on each slice of your eggplant then place your toppings on top then your cheese, basically your doing the same thing as you would normally for a pizza.
Then place in the oven to cook, take it out when your eggplant is sizzling and all the cheese has melted nicely.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!
