Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Place the sliced eggplant on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the eggplant evenly.
-
Roast the seasoned eggplant slices in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and set aside.
-
Increase the oven temperature to 475°F (245°C) to preheat for baking the pide.
-
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into an oval or rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Spread the Greek yogurt evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a border around the edges for the crust.
-
Arrange the roasted eggplant slices on top of the yogurt layer. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese.
-
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a crust, pinching lightly to seal the edges.
-
Bake the Eggplant and Yogurt Pide in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
-
Remove the pide from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for added freshness.
