Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the eggplant thoroughly and cut it into 1/4-inch slices.
- Lay the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush both sides of the slices with olive oil (using approximately 2 tablespoons of the olive oil).
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through.
- While the eggplant is roasting, slice the baguette into two equal slices.
- Brush each slice with the remaining olive oil.
- Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Once the eggplant is roasted, lightly spread pasta sauce over each baguette slice.
- Layer the roasted eggplant slices evenly on top of the sauce.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the eggplant.
- Crumble the goat cheese over the mozzarella.
- Add more pasta sauce on top, spreading it evenly.
- Place the assembled flatbreads in the oven.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is toasted.
- Remove the flatbreads from the oven.
- Immediately sprinkle the fresh basil leaves over the top while the flatbreads are still hot.
- Let the flatbreads cool for a minute.
- Slice into desired portions and serve warm.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to ensure the flatbread bakes evenly. A temperature of 400°F (200°C) is ideal.
- Slice the eggplant thinly to ensure it cooks thoroughly and retains a pleasant texture.
- For a crispier crust, lightly toast the baguette slices before adding toppings.
- Drizzle olive oil on the flatbread before baking to enhance the overall flavor and prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
- Experiment with extra toppings like caramelized onions or roasted bell peppers for additional layers of flavor.
- Fresh basil leaves should be added after baking to preserve their aroma and vibrant color.
- Use high-quality mozzarella and goat cheese for the best taste experience.
