Top Secret Cheese Pizza
Yield: 4 little kid slices or 1 big kid serving
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 small zucchini, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 to 4 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- 4 ounces of your kiddo’s favorite tomato sauce (or make your own)
- 1 flatbread
- 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and oregano; cook until soft, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Stir in basil.
- Pour tomato sauce into a food processor or blender; carefully add vegetable mixture. Puree until very smooth. Remove lid, scrape down sides and pulse to incorporate any tricky big chunks.
- Spoon blended sauce onto flatbread. Use the back of the spoon to spread an even layer, leaving about ¼-inch of bare crust around the edges. Sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake on a foil-lined sheet about 6 minutes, until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown. For a crispy crust, remove from baking sheet and place directly on baking rack for an additional minute or two.
- Cut into quarters and serve with a top secret smile.
