Grilled Eggplant And Fresh Basil Vegetarian Pizza Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Eggplant and basil is a simple pizza combination, but, if you're like my friend jason, it'll soon be your favorite. Jason insists on placing full leaves of basil (fresh from his garden) underneath each slice of eggplant, as well as some snipped pieces on top, too. There's not much to this vegetarian pizza-just pizza dough, pizza sauce, eggplant, fresh basil (it has to be fresh) and some cheese. I usually like a bit of garlic on my pizza, but in this eggplant and basil recipe, you want to keep things simple so that the focus is on the flavor of the eggplant and fresh basil, and nothing else. Plus, i usually use a pizza sauce that has plenty of garlic already. If you do need to add more to this simple pizza, the only thing i can condone is some thinly sliced tomatoes which will add a lovely fire-roasted flavor.
