The pictures hardly do it justice, but pizza/ calzone night was such a hit I had to share. For weeks I had been obsessed with the idea of a feta and roasted garlic spread with eggplant. The fantasy quickly evolved into . . . lets stuff that combination into a hot and gooey calzone. I must say, it was an excellent idea. . .
Roasted Eggplant Calzone
homemade pizza crust
roasted eggplant: olive oil, s&p, for 35 minutes at 425°
feta spread: an entire package of crumbled feta, olive oil, 1/2 a bulb of
roasted garlic (baked with the eggplant), oregano, and cracked pepper
fresh tomatoes
fresh basil
purple onions
fresh mozzarella
Tomato and Goat Cheese Pizza
this one is pretty self explanatory, same crust just flat
simple pizza sauce: strained tomatoes, fresh basil and oregano,
the other 1/2 of the roasted garlic, salt and pepper
goat cheese
fresh tomatoes
purple onion
fresh mozzarella
Both obsessively watched and baked on my new pizza stone (thanks mom!) according to the crust instructions.
I am already thinking of another pizza night with this beautiful and inspiring summer combination of corn, hatch chilis and bacon! Hmmm, what would be some other unexpected and delicious combinations?
