Recipe Oven-Baked Pizza-Flavoured Aubergine Slices

[MypinchofItaly]

Serves: 4 | Preparation time: 10 mins | Cooking time: 25 mins

• Provolone cheese, diced: 120 g
• Fresh tomato: 3
• Aubergine medium-size : 1
• Oregano, dried: to taste
• Ham, minced: 100 g
• Pecorino, grated: to taste
• Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO): to taste
• Salt: to taste

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.

Dice tomatoes. In a bowl mix them with Evoo, a pinch of salt, a pinch of dried oregano.

Tip: whether you decide to use fresh tomatoes or tomato sauce, they both will cook directly in the oven, thus you neededn’t cook it before.

Cut aubergine into slices about 2 cm thick, and place them on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt. Pre-bake them for 15 mins to 180 C.

Take off them from the oven – don’t turn it off – garnish each slice with minced ham, diced Provolone and diced tomatoes, a shower of grated Pecorino and a pinch of dried oregano.

Put them back to the oven and bake 10 mins further or until cheese has melted.

Pretty! You should have tucked a bit of basil in there and entered it for the current challenge.

Thank you, but in this case the basil (like oregano) would have been only an addition and not the main ingredient..

I know - but in fact the recipe challenge doesn't specify it is the main ingredient.
