Eggplant, Spinach and Goat Cheese Flatbread Pizza
TGIF! All day I was thinking about what I was planning to make with this monster.
I got this huge eggplant at the farmer’s market yesterday for $1.50. I have never cooked eggplant in my life! I’ve only eaten it out at restaurants or when other people have cooked it for me–never on my own. So I think it was time to give it a try.
I wanted to make pizza tonight, so I went with Eggplant, Spinach, and Goat Cheese Flatbread pizza. 🙂 I cut up the eggplant into little triangles, and put them on the flatbread, along with cheese and some baby spinach.
Ingredients
- Eggplant, thinly sliced into small triangles (or rounds, depending on the size of your eggplant, mine was huge.)
- Shredded mozzarella cheese made with 2% milk
- Herbed goat cheese crumbles
- Small handful of baby spinach leaves
- 1 Flat-Out whole wheat wrap
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Lay out wrap onto baking sheet
- Sprinkle on shredded cheese, just enough to cover the wrap, about 1/2 cup
- Place about 6-7 eggplant triangles onto wrap, along with spinach
- Sprinkle on more shredded cheese if desired
- Add goat cheese crumbles to top
- Bake in oven for 15 minutes until cheese melts (goat cheese won’t melt but mozzarella will), and the wrap gets brown on edges and crispy
- ENJOY!!!
This is one of the best flat crusted pizzas I’ve ever made! So satisfying and the serving is HUGE! The wrap is only 90 calories with 6 grams of fiber. I made two because I made one for my sister as well.
Along with my pizza, I had to have a glass of wine of course. I’ve had this bottle of wine sitting in my wine rack since March! I got it at the Troy Farmer’s Market when Chris and I went. I’m glad I saved it. It is Summertide by Cascade Mountain Winery.
Hurray for New York wine! 🙂
So tasty! I grilled up the rest of the eggplant so I can make sandwiches tomorrow. I just threw it in a pan with some olive oil, salad seasoning, and onion powder. It came out really tasty! Who says eating vegetables is boring?!

The pizza looks awesome! I love eggplant. I broil it in the oven and put it on foccacia with goat cheese, tapenade and roasted red pepper. Awesome!

No, vegetables aren’t boring, but I think it takes a little more effort to make them interesting. I grew up with boiled vegetables – not very tasty. Now there are more, and better, ways to prepare them.
I like NY wines too, have had many from the Finger Lakes area.
I’ve never cooked an eggplant – have to admit they’re not my favorite, but if I put enough goat cheese on it, I’m sure it will be tasty!
I enjoy your blog – keep it up!
