Ingredients

  • 1 premade 12-inch pizza crust (I used Mama Mary's)
  • 1 - 1 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce (I used Del Monte Green Pepper Mushroom)
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese (or half provolone)
  • 1 small eggplant, peeled, cut in 1/4-inch rounds
  • olive oil, to saute
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, chopped (optional)
  • 1 cup mushroom, sliced (button and portobello mix is good!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • olive oil, to drizzle (optional)
  • salt and pepper

Method

  • Place eggplant rounds on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and broil on low about 8" from flame, about 6-8 minutes on each side(or you may grill). Cut rounds in half. Set aside.
  • In a large nonstick pan, lightly saute red bell pepper, scallions, red onion, and mushrooms in olive oil until tender, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Layer pizza crust with spaghetti sauce, mozzarella cheese, eggplant, and scallion-red onion-mushroom mixture. Sprinkle over oregano and basil, lightly drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake in a 450*F. oven for 12-14 minutes. Cut into slices and enjoy!
