Red Pepper and Eggplant Pizza Recipe

Here's the recipe to one of my favorite recipes to make. This is a delicious pizza that once you make it, you will want to make it again and again. Happy eating! :)

  • 1 eggplant, diced
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons of your favourite pasta sauce
  • 5 or so cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • pre-made pizza base (omg!)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 ball fresh mozzarella, diced
  • fresh basil leaves
  • pinch dried oregano
  • balsamic vinegar
  • salt, pepper, olive oil

1) Heat a little olive oil in a pan and fry together the garlic and onion to soften.

2) When browned add the eggplant and red pepper, toss together in the oil and garlic, add a touch of balsamic, season and cover for 10 - 15 mins on a low heat so that all the vegetables are nice and soft.



3) Spread the pasta sauce thinly on your pizza base and give it a little sprinkling with some extra oregano. Spread your vegetables evenly across the base. Dot with the mozzarella cubes and quartered tomatoes. Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed to ensure a nice even layer when it all melts.


4) Drizzle with olive oil and give it a good grinding of black pepper. Hot oven (220C), 15 mins or until the cheese has melted and gone a lovely golden colour in places.

5) Decorate with fresh basil leaves. Cut and serve!
