Grilled Eggplant, Tomato, & Parmesan Pizza

I do not have much experience cooking with eggplant, but when I saw it in my produce basket I thought about the best eggplant pizza I had when I was on a trip to Italy two years ago.  I wanted to experience the decadent flavors of that pizza again.  So, I made my version of an eggplant pizza!  The ingredients from my basket were eggplant, tomato, and basil.  The tortilla is Ezekiel brand.  Love this brand because it is filled with nutrients and really tasty too!  The tomato sauce I used was Muir Glen.  This tomato sauce is so sweet and is my favorite.  Finally, a little fresh parmesan chesse on top is a treat!  My grilled eggplant, tomato, & parmesan pizza ... enjoy!

4. Toast the tortilla in the oven for 4 min until it is crispy but not brown.
