EGGPLANT PIZZA
In a pathetic attempt to make eggplant parmigiana, I created this instead. It's very easy and uses basic ingredients that are probably already in your kitchen. I've made it about a dozen times in the past few months and my husband loves it. It's a very flexible recipe and I've tried it a few different ways already and it always tastes great and surprisingly like pizza. Goes well with any pasta dish or risotto.

Steps:
- Preheat oven at 375 degrees. Lightly oil a oven-safe dish. Wash and cut the eggplant into 1/2 inch slices. Place the eggplant slices evenly in the dish.
- Mix the oil, garlic, basil, and oregano and drizzle over the eggplant evenly. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until the eggplants begin to brown. Remove from oven.
- Flip over each slice of eggplant. Place cheese on top of each slice, then cover all the slices evenly with tomato sauce. Return to oven.
- Cook for another 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melting and bubbling. Remove from oven. Serve alone or with pasta or risotto.
HOPVINE'S MARINATED ROASTED EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)
At the Hopvine Pub in Seattle, I often order a custom pizza that has pesto, feta, mushrooms, and eggplant on it. (In fact, I've posted my version here as "Eggplant Mushroom Feta Pesto Pizza" - yum!) Recently, I asked them about the eggplant, because I'd noticed on the menu under another description that it said it was their own marinated recipe. A few minutes later, the waiter showed up at the table and handed me a ticket with ingredients on it! Not a recipe, exactly, as no amounts were shown, but here's what I've done with it (with a few tweaks). :) I use these marinated eggplant pieces in sandwiches and on pizza, but I'm sure you can find other uses for them as well. Delicious! Prep time includes chilling.

Steps:
- Remove the peel of the eggplant. (If using Japanese eggplant, it's not necessary to remove the peel.).
- Slice the peeled eggplant thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, then make into smaller pieces (about 1"x2" strips).
- Combine remaining ingredients in a plastic airtight container.
- Add the eggplant pieces, cover, and shake well to coat.
- Chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place eggplant pieces on a non-stick baking sheet and roast for 7 minutes, then carefully turn them and roast another 7 minutes until tender.
- Keep the eggplant pieces refrigerated in an airtight container until you use them; they'll keep for up to 3 or 4 days.
- You can use the eggplant in various ways: put them in sandwiches, or (as I do) put the marinated eggplant pieces on your pizza along with the other veggies!
- Note: this marinade is also good for other roasted vegetables like asparagus; you can also grill the eggplant slices instead of roasting and use them as an appetizer (I use my Foreman grill), to make appetizers with them I usually use unpeeled Asian eggplant instead of the regular kind and slice them diagonally about 1/4-inch thick before grilling.

EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) AND FETA ROLLS
As appetisers, these stylish and elegant Eggplant and Feta Rolls couldn't be quicker and easier to make, and there are times when that's just what we're all after: a simple, and tasty dish that is quick to put together, but doesn't actually look or taste 'quick and easy'! Naturally this recipe has fewer ingredients than other similar recipes. And that really means that more than ever the ingredients need to be TOP quality. I found this recipe in the June edition of the magazine 'Australian Table: easy family food and healthy living'.

EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) AND FETA CASSEROLE
This is a new favorite of mine. I was blown away by the wonderful flavors. I'm not a vegetarian but didn't miss meat with this. The onions turn out still crunchy, which I liked but if you don't you might try sautéing them in a little oil first.

EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) STUFFED MUSHROOMS
I like to serve this dish as an entree for my vegetarian neighbors using large portobellos, but you can also enjoy them as appetizers in small, meaty crimini mushrooms. This recipe is just to serve two people using large button mushrooms, so double or triple it for a larger group.

Tips:
- To ensure an evenly cooked pizza, preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can reach before assembling the pizza.
- Use a pizza stone or baking sheet for a crispy crust.
- For a flavorful crust, brush the edges of the dough with olive oil before baking.
- If using fresh mozzarella, pat it dry before using to prevent excess moisture from making the pizza soggy.
- Don't overload the pizza with toppings, as this can make it soggy.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the flavors to meld.
