Eggplant Pizza

My husband and I loved this pizza. It was simple but incredibly flavorful and delicious.

Ingredients
pizza dough
1 - 4 oz can of tomato paste
2 cups shredded whole milk mozzarella
4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
1/2 an eggplant, sliced thin
2 tbsp dried oregano
2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp olive oil; more for frying
flour for dredging
water to thin the tomato paste

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stretch pizza dough and place on pizza pan or cookie sheet. Set aside to rest.

Heat 1/8 inch of olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Dredge eggplant pieces in flour, shake off excess. Fry in batches in hot oil until just golden brown. Drain and set aside.

Mix tomato paste, 2 tbsp olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder and oregano. Add water until you achieve the desired consistency for your sauce. (I like mine super thin.)

Spread tomato sauce on pizza dough. Top with 1 cup of mozzarella. Add eggplant pieces. Top with remaining mozzarella and goat cheese crumbles.

Bake for 12-15 or until crust is golden brown and cheese is browned and bubbling.
