Instructions
- Follow the directions on the crust packing for preheating the oven. Depending on the crust, you may precook it before adding the sauce and toppings.
- Chop the eggplant into ½ inch cubes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the eggplant and oil. Cook for 5 – 7 minutes until the eggplant is cooked through and soft. Transfer the cooked eggplant to a plate covered with a paper towel to remove some of the oil. Pat the top with a paper towel as well.
- Meanwhile, coarsely chop the spinach, and set aside.
- Chop the bell pepper into ½ inch pieces, and set aside.
- Spoon the tomato sauce onto the prepared pizza crust. Use the back of the spoon to evenly spread the sauce, leaving a ½ inch ring around the edge with no sauce.
- Sprinkle the chopped spinach evenly over the sauce.
- Evenly sprinkle the cheeses on top of the spinach.
- Evenly place the eggplant and bell pepper over the pizza.
- Follow the baking instructions on the crust package. Depending on the crust, it may cook better directly on the oven rack, on a pizza stone, or on a baking sheet.
- Let the pizza cool for 2 minutes before cutting.

Use any prepared pizza crust that you like. Schar (stored at room temperature) and Against the Grain (stored in the freezer) both make a tasty gluten free crust. If you are limiting carbohydrates, try a cauliflower crust (stored in the freezer). You can also make your own.
Leftover pizza can easily be packed for lunch or reheated in the oven for dinner.
