ROASTED EGGPLANT AND BUFFALO MOZZARELLA PIZZA
In Italy, when high-quality buffalo mozzarella is used to top a pizza, it's often added after baking instead of before. The heat of the just-cooked pizza softens but doesn't melt the cheese, which retains its milky, sweet flavor and stays supple instead of becoming stretchy. Here, the cheese crowns a pizza topped with tomato, roasted eggplant, chile flakes and fresh basil leaves. If you can't get good buffalo mozzarella, substitute dollops of fresh ricotta. Or, you could experiment with burrata, draining it first. Save the cream, mix it with olive oil and salt, then use it to top ripe tomatoes instead of dressing. And if you are in a rush, substitute store-bought pizza dough.

Steps:
- Make the dough: Mix the yeast, warm water and olive oil in the bowl of an electric stand mixer or food processor, and let the mixture sit until the yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add in flour and salt, and using the dough hook or food processor blade, beat or pulse it until a smooth, slightly elastic dough forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Lightly coat a bowl with olive oil, place dough in the bowl, and turn the dough to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl loosely with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, place in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight.
- Divide the dough in quarters, and shape each piece into a tight, compact ball. Place the dough balls on a lightly oiled baking sheet or plate, loosely cover with plastic wrap and let them rise in the refrigerator another 1 to 2 hours (or up to 6 hours).
- When ready to bake the pizzas, place racks in the top third and bottom third of the oven. Put a pizza stone on top rack, and heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Prepare the toppings: On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the eggplant generously with oil, salt and pepper. Roast eggplant on the bottom rack until caramelized and tender, 40 to 45 minutes, tossing halfway through. Remove from the oven and raise the oven heat to 500 degrees.
- On a piece of parchment paper, stretch out one of the balls of dough to a 12-inch round. Spread 2 tablespoons tomato purée on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Scatter on 1/4 of the sliced garlic, a large pinch of red-pepper flakes and drizzle with oil to taste.
- Arrange 1/4 of the roasted eggplant on top. Use a pizza peel or cookie sheet to slide the parchment onto the pizza stone. Bake until crispy and golden on the top and bottom, 7 to 10 minutes. Use tongs to pull the pizza out of the oven and onto a wire rack to cool.
- Immediately top with chunks of cheese, pulling it apart with your hands into bite-size pieces. Top with basil, more oil to taste and flaky sea salt. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings.

I would have never thought about putting eggplant on a pizza, but one day I had an extra one laying around and figured it wouldn't hurt to try! This is now a personal favorite. Great way to get your kids to eat some vegetables too.

Steps:
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Place eggplant in a baking pan. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, and basil; toss to coat.
- Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, watching closely. Remove from the oven and mix in tomato. Put back in the oven and broil until eggplant is soft and just a bit golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes; be careful it doesn't burn. Remove from the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Grease a pizza pan or cookie sheet with remaining olive oil. Spread pizza dough to fit, using more dough for thick crust and less for thin. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese on top of the dough, then the eggplant-tomato mixture, and finally remaining mozzarella.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

EGGPLANT AND MOZZARELLA SANDWICH
This summer I had an abundant crop of eggplant, and expanded my usage of the vegetable. This is served on a nice crispy Italian bread or French baguette. Nice for a weekend lunch or quick dinner.
