Eggplant Cheesy Steak

This recipe was inspired by my friend and teammate Chrisie who would come to class with Tupperware of food making sure I ate post workout as she knew I lived on the road and didn’t have time to eat right! She would make “eggplant pizza” and it was delicious. It became a fast favorite in my house as I loved the versatility of this dish! This is a “steak” simply because you’ll need a knife to cut through this bad boy! The perfect lunch! Enjoy!
