What I like most about this kind of recipe is the fact that we can prepare them, combining all the ingredients that we like.
We can prepare delicious veggies pies in our kitchens in the same way as we do with pizza or salty cakes using what type of ingredients that we prefer. For the veggies pie, we can use homemade dough or to bye it ready. The dough can be gluten-free, or phyllo dough, or a puff pastry dough. Eggplant combines very well with fats, dairy, hams, and meats to prepare delicious dishes and recipes.
