Eggplant and sundried tomato pizza, with pesto and parm, on no-yeast dough.

I tried a no-yeast dough recipe and added marinara, parm, eggplant and sundried tomatoes.

Out of the oven and ready for a little pesto.

Mmmmm! Mmmm mmmm mmmm! This was so yummy! The dough turned out really well. Light crunch on the outside and soft inside.

Eggplant parm sandwich.

I loooove me some eggplant parm! :)

I buy the eggplant bundles at Trader Joe's and they are a lot for one person. I usually prepare one and freeze it--which will last me forever, and eggplant reheats well. I try to eat the other one fresh though, meaning, I'll be posting a lot of eggplant this week!
