Ingredients

1/3 recipe Basic Pizza Dough, or 3/4 pound store-bought dough

1 to 2 small eggplants, thinly sliced lengthwise into 6 strips 

Extra-virgin olive oil 

Coarse salt 

Red-pepper flakes 

1/2 cup salted pistachios, chopped 

1/3 cup crumbled feta 

1/3 cup pomegranate seeds (from 1 pomegranate) 

1/4 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Form dough (as directed in Basic Pizza Dough recipe) in a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet. Arrange eggplant lengthwise on dough, 3 slices side-by-side on top half, 3 on bottom half; press into dough. Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt and red-pepper flakes.

Bake until cooked through and crust is golden on edges and bottom, about 18 minutes.

Using a metal spatula, slide pie onto a cutting board. Sprinkle with pistachios, feta, pomegranate seeds, and cilantro. Slice into 6 pieces and serve.
