Ingredients
- • 1 large eggplant
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Slice the eggplant into thick rounds, about half an inch each. Remember, these will be the ‘pizza bases.’
3. Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet. Brush them with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Bake the eggplant slices in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until slightly tender.
5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. On each eggplant slice, sprinkle shredded mozzarella and arrange cherry tomato halves.
6. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then carefully pour over the middle of one eggplant slice, being careful to contain the yolk.
7. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
8. Garnish each Keto Eggplant Breakfast Pizza with fresh basil before serving.

Cooking Tips
For a dairy-free version, use your favorite vegan cheese substitute. If eggs aren’t your preference, try adding cooked sausage or crispy bacon on top instead. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Serve with a fresh leafy salad or any keto-friendly greens.
