    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet with olive oil.

    2

    Roll out the pizza dough, making the edges slightly thicker. Place the dough on the prepared pan.

    3

    Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with dried oregano.

    4

    Arrange mozzarella slices on top of the tomato sauce, followed by thinly sliced eggplant. For extra flavor, you can lightly pan-fry the eggplant beforehand.

    5

    Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese evenly over the eggplant layer.

    6

    Bake the pizza for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the mozzarella is melted, and the eggplant is slightly browned.

    7

    After baking, sprinkle with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with a little olive oil before serving.
