  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Place eggplant in a baking pan. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, and basil; toss to coat.
  • Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, watching closely. Remove from the oven and mix in tomato. Put back in the oven and broil until eggplant is soft and just a bit golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes; be careful it doesn't burn. Remove from the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Grease a pizza pan or cookie sheet with remaining olive oil. Spread pizza dough to fit, using more dough for thick crust and less for thin. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese on top of the dough, then the eggplant-tomato mixture, and finally remaining mozzarella.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
