Grilled Spring Onion and Eggplant Pizza

Elevate your pizza game with Grilled Spring Onion and Eggplant Pizza. Charcoal grilling yields a crispy crust & wood-fired flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch spring onions (roots cut off and sliced lengthwise if onions are larger)
- 1 eggplant (sliced crosswise into 1/2" pieces)
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
- 2 10 " pizza crusts
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- goat cheese
Instructions
- 1
Heat your grill on high. Brush the eggplant slices with a generous amount of olive oil on each side and drizzle olive oil on the spring onions. Grill the veggies directly over the flame until they are cooked through.
- 2
Coarsely chop the grilled spring onions and slice the eggplant into strips.
- 3
Shape the pizza dough into the size you want, and place the dough on a pizza paddle dusted with corn meal. You can place the pizza dough on a corn-meal-dusted piece of parchment paper first so it is easier to pick up and place on the grill. Brush one side of the pizza dough with olive oil, then place that side directly on the grill. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the crust is cooked through on that side.

Using tongs, carefully move the crust from the grill back onto the corn-meal-dusted pizza paddle with the grilled side facing up. Layer mozzarella cheese, grilled spring onions, eggplant, dabs of goat cheese, and season with salt & pepper.
- 5
Slide back onto the grill and cook for about 5 more minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

Remove from the grill, season to taste, slice and serve.
