To make these Eggplant and Mozzarella Hand Pies, you will need the following ingredients:

To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced eggplant and garlic, and cook until the eggplant is tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Fold the other half of the circle over the filling and press the edges together to seal.
Place the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. Serve warm and enjoy!
