Low Carb Eggplant Bruschetta

28

I was on the fence about what to name these gorgeous eggplant slices. It’s quite similar to a pizza with no sauce, like a margarita pizza, with slices of tomatoes instead. I used regular mozzarella but fresh would be amazing here too.

I actually made these with the breadcrumbs, but almond flour can be subbed in to keep them gluten free. You can even use grated parmesan instead of the almond flour too.

The other beauty of this dish is that you can grill them on the barbecue too, 5-6 minutes per side (or until fork tender). While that’s happening, whip up the topping. Which is the best part.
