Eggplant Pizza Recipe with Tomato and Mozzarella

I had wanted to try eggplant, tomato and mozzarella pizza for several summers and it was the 3 times a day recipe that reminded me.

I roasted tomatoes in the oven and it’s really delicious! In fact, the eggplants and tomatoes are cooked separately and assembled at the last moment with a few basil leaves added at the last minute.

You will see that I do not heat the mozzarella in the oven, I like to keep it fresh because it retains more flavor, and it melts slightly on the vegetables but if you prefer it warm. You can always grill it for a few seconds or minutes, on your eggplant pizza.

For even more deliciousness you can even use buffalo burrata, it’s a guaranteed treat!

You will see sesame seeds in the photos, that’s because for dressing I used gomasio, a mixture of sesame and salt.

Small clarification, we ate these eggplant, tomato and mozzarella pizzas as a main course but you can also serve them as a starter or aperitif…
