Cuisine: Filipino

Serves: 6-8 people

Ingredients

• 2 pcs 8” round store bought pizza base (or you can make your own fresh)
• 1 tbsp garlic, chopped
• ¼ cup onion, chopped
• ½ cup tomatoes, chopped
• 3 tbsp tomato paste
• 6-8 pcs eggplant, roasted and peeled
• 5 pcs eggs, beaten
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 cups mozarella or cheddar cheese, grated
• Fresh basil to garnish
• Cooking oil as required
• salt and pepper to taste

Procedure

1. Pre-heat your oven to 350F.
2. Roast eggplants directly on a gas stove on high heat until the skin is charred on all sides. Use tongs in turning or hold the stem so you won’t get burned. Peel the skin once cooled and set it aside.
3. In a shallow frypan, heat the oil and sauté your garlic, onion and tomatoes on medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until the tomatoes soften. Slightly mash the tomatoes and add the tomato paste and water until it is chunky. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 2 minutes. Set aside tomato mixture.
4. In another shallow frypan, add the roasted eggplant and the eggs. Stir gently until the consistency becomes similar to scrambled eggs.
5. Pour the soy sauce and season with salt and pepper. Set eggplant mixture aside.
6. Get your pizza dough and start assembling the pizza. First, top it with the tomato mixture. Then sprinkle with half of the grated cheese and add in the eggplant mixture on top.
7. Finish it off by topping everything with the remaining cheese.
8. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve while hot.
