RECIPE OF THE DAY! CRUSTLESS MINI EGGPLANT PIZZAS

Ditch the crust and boost your veggie intake with these eggplant "pizzas."

Really delicious and so easy, light and quick. I love loading these mini pizzas with any and all type of veggies-onions, peppers, spinach, mushrooms ect. Also I love to use fresh tomatoes (subbed in for tomato sauce). Pretty filling as well, you can change the cheese to feta,fat free swiss or any other cheese of your choosing. It will be a big hit with the kids too, if the kids like it life becomes so simple at dinner time. ENJOY!!!
