This pizza’s exquisite flavors feature notes from chopped onions, bell peppers and eggplant sprinkled with Italian seasoning. It’s covered in a tangy tomato paste combined with balsamic vinegar and sprinkled with Sargento® Shredded Reduced Fat Mozzarella Cheese all on top of a phyllo pastry crust that makes for a lovely and flaky base.
Ingredients
- 7 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed
- 1 large purple onion, sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pound eggplant, peeled and diced
- 2 Tbsp. dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste
- 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1-1/2 cups (6 oz.) Sargento® Shredded Reduced Fat Mozzarella Cheese
- 3/4 cup (3 oz.) Sargento® Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Directions
- Place one sheet phyllo pastry on a lightly greased 12-inch pizza pan; spray evenly with cooking spray. Place another sheet of phyllo on top at a right angle to first sheet; spray with cooking spray. Continue with remaining phyllo sheets. (The overhanging sheets of phyllo will form a circle around the pizza pan.)
- Roll, extending edges toward center of pizza pan to form a rim. Coat with cooking spray. Cut six 1-inch slits in bottom of phyllo pastry; bake at 450°F for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Combine onion, green pepper and eggplant in a jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray; add Italian seasoning and pepper; toss well. Bake at 450°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender.
- Combine tomato paste and vinegar; spread on phyllo crust. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese; spoon eggplant mixture over cheese. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes or until cheese melts.
