Mini Eggplant Pizzas

1 eggplant, peeled and cut into as many slices as you want (just don't make them too thin)
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Pasta Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese (I like adding Asiago, Parmesan, and sometimes other cheese)

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Brush both sides of the eggplant with oil and then season with salt and pepper to taste.  If you like you can also add some Garlic - fresh or ground.  Arrange them on a baking sheet (use parchment or foil to line it otherwise you have a lot of hard cleaning later) and bake until browned and almost tender, 6-8 minutes, turning once.  Spread desired amount of pasta sauce and cheese on each eggplant slice.  Bake until the cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes.

Sometimes I add things to my pizzas like mushrooms or turkey pepperoni (did you know they had turkey pepperoni???), so make these your own and they are a healthy delicious meal. 

The reason I made these today was because I needed some comfort food and what better comfort than pizza?  I needed comfort to get over a recent rejection, so instead of making cookies and baking a dessert I made pizzas.  Interesting how cooking can be so cathartic.  The rejection still hurts so maybe I will bake some tofu cheesecake later, but for now both my psyche and tummy are satisfied.
