Move over toast – eggplants get a stunning makeover with these three easy, healthy eggplant toast recipes.
These three recipes showcase the versatility of eggplant in a way you’ve never seen (or tasted!) before. The purple veggie replaces toast as the vehicle to hold a combination of delicious toppings that’ll have you coming back for seconds. Best of all, they’re ready for the table in under an hour.
Breakfast feels like the perfect place to start. First, the eggplant is sliced in half and scored before getting slathered in olive oil and baked to tenderize. Once baked, top the eggplant with sliced avocado, sprouts, crispy bacon and an oozy sunny-side up egg.

For lunch, try the caprese stuffed eggplant. This version marries the delicious flavors of roasted campari tomatoes with Paleo cheese, chopped olives and fresh basil for a Mediterranean-style eggplant dish that eats like a meal. I often use this cheese recipe in dishes that I want to mimic the flavor of real mozzarella. Simply follow the instructions for the cashew cheese here and slice the cheese instead of grating. I like to lay the “mozzarella” slices on top of the eggplant as soon as it comes out of the oven, allowing the cheese to get nice and melty.
Finally, dessert gets a savory twist with figs and prosciutto. This fancy combination brings a decadent sweet and salty flavor. A drizzle of pure honey and balsamic vinegar are the perfect complement to this dish.
