Grilled Tomato-Eggplant Pizza

Building a homemade pizza? For a light bite on the deck or patio, grill the toppings - and the pizza - for fire-roasted flavor! As an easy, savory topper, use canned diced tomatoes, flavored with herbs. Canned tomatoes deliver great year-round flavor as a pizza topper, and their beta-carotene and lycopene adds up to good nutrition!
Ingredients:
1 medium eggplant, cut in 3/4-inch thick slices
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (10 ounces) pre-baked, whole-wheat pizza crust or 4 whole-wheat pitas
1 can (8 ounces) diced tomatoes with garlic and basil, drained
1 can (2 1/4 ounces) chopped black olives with jalapeños
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella or crumbled feta cheese, or a combination of both
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Preparation Time: Approximately 15 minutes
Cook Time: Approximately 15 minutes
Preparation:
Brush eggplant with 3 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, pepper and garlic. Grill eggplant over a medium-high fire for about 10 minutes, turning to brown evenly, until soft and cooked through.
Brush pizza crust with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Layer grilled eggplant, tomatoes and black olives over crust. Sprinkle with cheese and basil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Put the pizza on the grill; lower the lid. Grill until the cheese melts.
Servings: 5
