Ingredients

  • 2 x 250g ready-to-roll pizza dough balls (see note)

  • ¼ cup tomato passata

  • 1 large eggplant, sliced into thin rounds

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

  • 150g fior di latte, sliced

  • ¼ cup oregano leaves

  • ½ tsp chilli flakes

Method

  1. Step 1

    Combine the pizza dough balls together to form one large ball. Roll out on a large sheet of baking paper to make a 30cm round. Place on a large, lightly greased pizza tray. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Preheat the oven to 200C fan-forced (220C conventional). Spread the pizza base with tomato passata. Mix the oil and garlic together in a small bowl and season. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with the oil and arrange them on the pizza.

  3. Step 3

    Top with the cheese and place in the oven for 15 minutes, or until golden and the cheese has melted.

  4. Step 4

    Serve topped with oregano and chilli flakes.
