Eggplant and Squash Leaf ¼ Pizza

I sliced a single Chinese eggplant into ¼" discs, and fried them slightly firm in olive oil. After turning off the heat, and removing the eggplant to drain on a paper towel, I dropped a squash leaf (without the stem) into the cooling olive oil. It fried crispy in about 30 seconds.

The drained squash leaf was cut into squares.

Both veggies were distributed over a pre-made ¼ pizza crust that had been spread with pizza sauce.

Shredded mozzarella and oregano were added, then grated Parmesan and Romano cheese sprinkled on top.

I prefer a crispy crust, so I bake it a minute longer than required. This particular crust suggests 14 minutes at a pre-heated 450°F.

For this pizza, I used a buttermilk ranch dressing as a dipping sauce.

Corn and Black Bean ¼ Pizza

Don't laugh. This is delicious. This used maybe 1½ tablespoons of black beans. Ditto for the corn, which was sliced off the slightly immature cob. It looks like white, shoe peg corn. I used standard pizza sauce, but swapped cheeses, used no grated mozzarella/Romano cheese, and no oregano. The only seasoning consisted of black pepper and parsley.

The arrow points to the divot where my Canon Powershot camera decided to take a taste of its own.
