Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 oz pre-made pizza dough
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (separated)
  • 1/2 eggplant (sliced thin)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
  • 3 cloves garlic (sliced)
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/4-1/2 cup hummus
  • salt & pepper (to taste)
  • balsamic glaze (to taste)
  • chives (chopped)
  • red pepper flakes (optional)

Instruction

  • Place dough on flour dusted surface and allow to come to room temperature (approx. 30-60 minutes).
  • While dough is coming to room temperature, place eggplant slices on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Once eggplant begins to sweat wipe salt and liquid off.
  • Heat 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in a griddle over medium heat. Place eggplant slices in the pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until there are grill marks (approx. 3 minutes). Flip and cook until the other side has grill marks. Remove from the pan and set aside. 
  • Heat remaining 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in the same pan. Add cherry tomatoes, garlic, oregano and salt & pepper. Saute until tomatoes begin to blister. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 
  • Roll pizza dough out on a greased baking sheet. Spread desired amount of hummus over the entire pizza. Top with eggplant slices followed by tomato mixture. 
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes (or until toppings are bubbling and crust is brown).
  • Remove from the oven and top with balsamic glaze, chives and red pepper flakes. Slice and serve.
