Eggplant Mini Pizzas
Eggplant makes an interesting change to your ordinary pizza bases. It's a fun way to get your kids to eat their veggies. I suggest adding pepperoni, mushrooms and capsicum.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (125g) plain flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 large eggplant, sliced into 1cm rounds
- 1/4 cup (65ml) vegetable oil
- 400g pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups (170g) grated mozzarella cheese
Directions
Preparation:20min ›
Cook:20min ›
Ready in:40min
- Preheat an oven to 180 degrees C.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl. Mix the flour, salt, pepper and oregano in a 4L resealable plastic bag. Dip each eggplant slice in the egg then drop the eggplant in the flour mixture one at a time, shaking the bag to coat the eggplant.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep frypan over medium heat. Place the eggplant slices in the frypan to cook, turning occasionally until evenly browned. Drain the eggplant slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Arrange the eggplant in one layer on a baking tray. Spoon enough pizza sauce to cover each eggplant slice. Top each eggplant with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the mozzarella cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes.

I'm giving this 5 stars because my entire family liked it (kids are almost two and four and a half). Score! I didn't fry it first mostly because I needed my hands to do other things to get dinner ready in a hurry. I followed the direction exactly except after I floured them I also dipped them in panko. I put them on a greased cookie sheet and baked on 450 for about 20 mins. Once they can be pierced with a fork, I took them out and put tomato sauce, a generous amount of parmesan and then grated mozzarella and put them back in at 350 for about 5-10 minutes to melt cheese. Baking them made them plenty crispy and really delicious! My guess is too much oil could make them soggy if you weren't careful. - 12 Jul 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Really quite good. I took the recommendation of others and floured, egged then dipped these slices in italian breadcrumbs. After greasing a cookie sheet with olive oil, I cooked these for 20 mins at 450. Then topped with sauce, parm and mozz cheeses and a mix of mushrooms, onions, garlic, and red peppers. bake again for 8 minutes on 350. Like homemade tapas! Please make. So easy and came out crispy and perfect. - 14 Nov 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This recipe was great and fun! Here's what I did differently. 1). I coated the eggplant in eggs and breadcrumbs rather than flour and since they were seasoned it gave the pizzas a bit of flavor. When I fried them I used just enough oil to coat the pan and they dried them w/ a paper towel before baking 2). I added veggie italian sausage, mushrooms and onion and I stir-fried the veggies a bit first so they were tender. This recipe was even liked by my very picky 5-year old daughter (of course I just told her they were pizzas, but after she ate 2 I told her it was eggplant and she didn't believe me!). - 08 Feb 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
