Mini pizza on eggplants
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Eggplant mini-pizzas are truly delicious! A tender cheesy topping hiding fragrant mushrooms and pepperoni underneath, all on a crispy eggplant round! In my opinion, these mini-pizzas make a wonderful appetizer, a great alternative to the traditional "mother-in-law's tongue." My recipe is another tasty way to enjoy eggplant dishes. So go ahead and save this recipe for yourself—you can serve it with tea or coffee.

Prepare all the necessary ingredients. You can use store-bought tomato sauce or make it yourself. Or maybe you have homemade tomato sauce canned in jars? Then feel free to use it.

Step 2
Slice the eggplant into rounds 6-8 mm thick. You can cut them thicker, but I really prefer very thin slices because they bake well and become nicely crispy.
