Keto Mini Eggplant Pizzas
Ingredients
- 1 eggplant cut into twelve 1½ cm thick slices
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1⁄3 cup chopped tomatoes tinned
- 41⁄2 oz ball mozzarella drained and sliced into 12 pieces
- 11⁄2 oz goat cheese
- 12 basil leaves
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Brush the eggplant slices on each side with the olive oil, lay them on the baking tray and season on both sides with a bit of salt. Transfer to the centre of the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the oregano to the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the baked eggplant slices from the oven and spread the tomatoes evenly on top. Add a piece of mozzarella to each one and crumble over the goat's cheese. Continue baking for another 10 minutes.
- Remove the "pizzas" from the oven and garnish each with a basil leaf to serve.
Notes
These pizzas also work brilliantly using kohlrabi or daikon radish, which have strong, aromatic flavours. For this option, peel the kohlrabi or radish, cut it into 6-8mm thick slices and cook for about 6 minutes in salted water. Blanch briefly in ice-cold water, dab dry and proceed with the rest of the ingredients as described above.
