Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced eggplant and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto the hot sheet.
-
Layer the sautéed eggplant, sliced tomatoes, and red onion on top of the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
-
Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the vegetables.
-
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the pide and season with a little more salt and pepper.
-
Place the baking sheet back into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
Once baked, remove the pide from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
-
Slice the Eggplant and Tomato Pide into individual portions and serve hot.
