Ingredients

• Pizza dough - 200 grams
• Eggplant - 150 grams, sliced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons

• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Feta cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
• Fresh oregano - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. In a bowl, toss the sliced eggplant with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Spread the eggplant slices on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
3. While the eggplant is roasting, roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
4. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Spread the halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the pizza dough.
6. Once the eggplant is done, distribute it evenly over the tomatoes, followed by crumbled feta cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese.
7. Sprinkle fresh oregano on top and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
8. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, slice, and serve hot.
