Broccoli and Cheese Pizza

April 27, 2011 by danawyyc Leave a Comment

I found the inspiration for this recipe on Healthy Happy Life a vegan food blog. I seem to spend a disproportionate amount of time on vegan food blogs for someone is not even remotely vegan in my eating habits.

Gordie has been a little suspicious of green food lately (except edamame which he loves), so he was not particularly impressed by this choice. But I think it might lure in some reluctant broccoli eaters.

Broccoli and Cheese Pizza
 
Ingredients
  • broccoli
  • shredded cheese
  • cream cheese (regular or any kind of savoury flavoring)
  • olive oil
  • garlic
  • whole wheat pitas
Instructions
  1. Spread a thin layer of olive oil on the pita. Add thin slices of garlic. I used about a clove per pita.
  2. Add thin slices of broccoli. For mine I used the whole ‘tree’ but for Gordie’s I used little bits of the florets (pictured on the right).
  3. Add little splotches of cream cheese (about 1 tbsp total) around the pita.
  4. Top with shredded cheese.
  5. Bake for about 5 minutes. I used the toaster oven so I did 3 minutes on bake and 2 on broil. Basically your goal is to melt the cheese without burning the pita too much.
  6. I used sundried tomato cream cheese which was nice, but I really think any would be fine.

I used whole wheat pitas for the ‘dough’ and that worked well, but I think I would probably blanch the broccoli quickly in the microwave if I was doing it again just so they were cooked a little bit extra. This wouldn’t be a problem if you were using base that wasn’t quite so thin.

I really enjoyed these and will definitely make them again. I wouldn’t skip the cream cheese though. I tried one without it and it just needed a little something extra.
