Ingredients
- 1 large globe eggplant cut into ½ inch rounds
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ¼ cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¾ cup baby bella mushrooms sliced
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce
- crushed red pepper for garnish
- fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Place the eggplant rounds on a baking sheet. Generously salt the slices and leave them to “sweat” for 20 minutes, then wipe them off with a paper towel.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush slices with 2 tablespoons oil and season with black pepper. Bake until softened and slightly golden brown, 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, arrange mushrooms on a sheet pan and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and bake until golden brown, 30 minutes.
- Remove eggplant slices from the oven and pour about 2 tablespoons of the sauce mixture onto each one. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan on each eggplant slice and top with roasted mushrooms.
- Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted, 5 minutes. Garnish with crushed red pepper, fresh basil, and serve immediately.

Notes
- Storage: Leftovers will keep well for two days in the fridge and can be reheated in the oven.
- Tips: don't skip salting the eggplant rounds. If you don't they can become very soggy.
