Aubergine Marinara Flatbread

This aubergine marinara flatbread is a delicious vegetarian dish that combines the comforting flavours of a classic Italian pasta bake with the satisfying crunch of toasted ciabatta. By pan-frying the aubergine slices before baking, you ensure a tender, melt-in-the-mouth texture that pairs perfectly with the rich tomato sauce and punchy herbs. It is a vibrant, colourful meal that feels sophisticated yet remains incredibly simple to prepare for a quick midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch.

Packed with savoury mediterranean notes, this recipe features a clever combination of creamy goat’s cheese and melted mozzarella for a luxurious finish. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a hearty meat-free option that doesn't compromise on flavour. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad or some balsamic-glazed tomatoes for a complete, wholesome meal that everyone at the table will enjoy.
