Took the day off & had a few buddies over to celebrate Friday, the weather, the season, whatever. One of my favorite veggies growing up was eggplant, cooked any way but particularly sliced, breadcrumbed, fried & salted. My mom would make piles of these things as me & my brother & dad would eat them before they’d hit the dinner table. Few things in this life are tastier

I thought they’d make a great pizza topping:

    That looks great a beer and your ready to go

    ah, if only those little wedges were... sausages or 'roni.

    or somethin'. :laugh:

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    thanks, though it was a bit overdone, was too busy slurping on a beer & talking & it got a little away from me. Probably no more than 1 minute over but at 700+ degrees there's not much room for error :laugh: .

    Eggplant is relatively common as a pizza topping around here, usually sliced almost paper thin & put right on the pie & often accompanied by blobs of ricotta (also usually a white pie).

    The fried-ness of my version is homage to mom
