This is a fairly easy dish to throw together and is quite tasty. Any leftovers can be reincarnated the next day by adding some browned Italian sausage and mushrooms or some super thin slices of green pepper and seeded tomato. My husband is a hearty eater and had 3 slices. It took only 2 to satisfy me. Not suitable until OWL unless you use a different, induction-friendly bread instead of the bread mentioned below. I added 2 sausage patties to the focaccia pictured above, because that’s what I had cooked, leftover in the fridge. Next time I’ll use 4 patties. If you add sausage, be sure to add that to the nutritional info shown below.

INGREDIENTS:

1 recipe Artisan Flat Bread batter: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/artisan_flat_bread.html
8 oz. eggplant (sliced about 1/8″ thick or won’t get done)
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 T. chopped fresh rosemary
¼ tsp. crushed dried oregano
Pinch each onion powder and garlic powder
3 oz. Havarti, Emmentaler, Swiss or Jack cheese, grated
1 oz. Parmesan cheese for final topping

DIRECTIONS:

Slice eggplant and spread onto paper towels and lightly salt. Let sit 10 minutes and pat the water off tops. Repeat for other side of eggplant.

Preheat oven to 350º. Make up bread batter and spread onto parchment-lined 13×15 pan. You can spread batter all the way to the edges and make the sheet rectangular, or make it oval like I did in the picture below. Sprinkle rosemary, oregano and onion and garlic powder on top. Now evenly spread half the grated cheese onto the batter. Arrange eggplant slices in 1-2 slightly overlapping layers evenly on top. Sprinkle with remaining grated cheese. Finally, top with the Parmesan. Drizzle with the olive oil and bake for 30 minutes at 350º or until eggplant is done. Remove from oven and slice into 12 pieces. Serve immediately. This is nice with a green or tomato salad. Easiest eaten with your hands like pizza.

Sounds wonderful. I love eggplant.

Thanks again, Buttoni!

I gave you 5 stars on your blog just because it looks so awesome!

Why thank you both! My husband isn't wildly fond of eggplant, but he ate 3 or 4 slices of this stuff. It's pretty tasty.
