Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare one eggplant. Wash it thoroughly, trim off the stem, and then slice it as thinly as possible so it can be placed on the pizza base. Thin slices will become tender when cooked and provide a better texture. (Tip: Salting the slices briefly and then patting them dry can help reduce any bitterness and remove excess moisture from the eggplant.)
Step 2
Take one tortilla. Heat a dry pan over low heat, place the tortilla in it, and toast one side until lightly golden. Flip it over and spread a generous layer of store-bought spaghetti sauce or tomato sauce on the side you’ll be topping. Be sure to spread the sauce all the way to the edges for consistent flavor throughout.
Step 3
Arrange the thinly sliced eggplant over the sauce, making sure not to overlap the slices too much for even cooking. Then, place another tortilla on top. Spread sauce evenly over this second tortilla as well, and then layer the eggplant slices once more. (Tip: Avoid overlapping the eggplant slices; this ensures they cook evenly and the cheese melts properly.)
Step 4
Now for the star of the show! Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the eggplant layers. Using plenty of cheese will give you that satisfying stretchy texture and rich flavor.
Step 5
Cover the pan with a lid and continue to cook over low heat until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. Be careful not to let the heat get too high, as this can burn the tortilla. Once the cheese is beautifully melted and golden, your delicious Tortilla Eggplant Pizza is ready! (Tip: If you prefer a touch of sweetness, you can drizzle a little agave syrup over the sauce, either instead of or in addition to the tomato sauce, for a unique flavor twist. Adding herbs like basil or oregano can also enhance the aroma.)
