    I’m planning on making “pizza” ( but with no bread or any carb base ) I’m using thick slices of my home grown eggplant , which I season / partly bake ……then add the toppings which will be some pasta sauce / chopped spring onions / tomatoes / a mix of left over hot chicken and bacon topped / home grown / charred / capsicums Ive added a little garlic/ lemon juice and olives oil to ,
    and topped off with a little cheese ….and bake for a further 15 mins

    Made them before but I only make them when I have my own eggplant in summer ( refuse to pay $7~ $9 kg for them in off season )

    Are those capsicums hot or mild? And I didn't want to seem "pushy" in demanding pics of your eggplant pizza (it really sounds good), so thanks for taking the lead.

    Don't forget to post pics of the eggplant crust. ;)

    Mild I only add ….garlic tiny bit of sugar ..salt and pepper lemon juice and olive oil ….don't drown in liquid I make about 2 tablespoons liquid and tip over toss hot capisums it it ( after I’ve charred them under grill )
    if you haven’t made them …..I put them in a bowl to sweat ( cover with lid or cling wrap ) after removing from grill …the skin comes right off after 5 mins ….delicious .. @John Brunner

    I've charred them over the open flame of my gas burner, then put them in a paper bag to steam the peel off. It is very good stuff.

    Here is the eggplant “ pizza “ about to go in the oven to melt the cheese and finish cooking the base ( sliced eggplant )
    tomatoes / parsley / onions / capisums / eggplant all from my garden the mini tomatoes are growing like couch grass , one tomato has even climbed my plum tree and it right up to the top of the tree about 9 ft high ….and I’ve no idea where they came from cause I didn’t plant them x 2

    So if you decide to make it one day ….it’s something I’ve been doing for years so I’ve never looked for a recipe ….
    @John Brunner
    slice eggplant about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
    mix a bit of olive oil with salt and pepper and use a pasty brush to lightly coat both sides of slices

    lightly sprinkle with paprika …..rub it in with fingers

    Cook for 20 mins on 180 f

    Remove , from oven …..add light coating of pasta sauce

    Add toppings of choice

    Cook another 15 mins and enjoy

    We had a green salad with ours
