Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Eggplant Pizza Bites.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious dish.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, crack open your eggs and beat them until they’re beautifully blended.
Step 3
Next, grab a resealable plastic bag and toss in the flour, salt, pepper, and oregano, giving it a gentle shake to mix everything together.
Step 4
Now, take each slice of eggplant and dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing it to soak up that rich flavor.
Step 5
Then, place the eggplant slice into the flour mixture, sealing the bag and giving it a good shake to ensure an even coating.
Step 6
Heat up some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, creating the perfect environment for frying.
Step 7
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the eggplant slices, cooking them until they turn a lovely golden brown, flipping them occasionally to achieve that perfect color.
Step 8
Once they’re done, transfer the crispy slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Now comes the fun part! Arrange your beautifully fried eggplant slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Step 10
Spoon a generous amount of pizza sauce over each slice, letting it soak in just a bit, and then sprinkle a hearty handful of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 11
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 12
Enjoy your delightful eggplant creation, perfect for sharing with family and friends!.
