Ingredients

1 large eggplant
1 teaspoon salt
4 pieces of turkey bacon (can use pork if desired)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
4 tablespoons chopped shiitake mushrooms
4 tablespoons chopped green onions
4 tablespoons chopped black olives
1/2 cup Asiago shredded cheese
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons pizza sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon dried or fresh oregano

Directions

1

You can peel or not peel your eggplant - your preference. Slice into 1/2 inch thick slices. Lay on a paper towel and sprinkle salt on to remove any bitterness. Let sit for 15 minutes. Pre-heat your grill - indoor or outdoor
2

Chop turkey bacon into small pieces and brown. Add your 2 cloves of garlic (chopped), drain and set aside. Chop green onion, mushrooms, and black olives. Set aside.
3

Mix olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Brush onto one side of the eggplant. Place the eggplant slices on the grill (I use a vegetable grill platter on my gas grill) - side down of what has the oil mixture on it. Then brush the other side with the oil/vinegar mixture. Let brown for about 5 minutes on low. Then flip.
4

Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce on each eggplant slice. Now add your pizza topping ingredients. As these are individual pizzas you can mix & match the ingredients to your family/guests' preferences. Sprinkle small amount of oregano on each pizza and then sprinkle on 1 TB Asiago cheese. Close the grill for 5 minutes to let bottom brown and cheese to melt.
