Improvisational Pizza

Don’t you hate it when you plan a meal in your head only to realize that you are missing a crucial ingredient– such as cheese! I was planning to make a homemade pizza for dinner tonight, but it’s really tough to make one without cheese! 👿 I’m not one to get bent out of shape about something like this. I’m also not one to run to the grocery store to buy what I need. Instead, I took this opportunity to get creative in the kitchen and improvise with the ingredients we already had in our apartment. Surprisingly, dinner turned out quite well! 😎

The “secret ingredient” for tonight’s pizza was feta-walnut filling, leftover from the Feta-Walnut Stuffed Cucumbers that I made the other day. I love being creative with food and hate seeing it go to waste, so feta-walnut spread was the perfect ingredient for an improvisational pizza. 

While chopping veggies for the pizza, I snacked on raw green peppers and broccoli dipped into the feta-walnut spread. Surprisingly, the feta-walnut filling makes a delicious, full-flavored dip. 

Ingredients:

• Pizza crust (I used a Boboli crust)
• Feta-Walnut filling
• Green pepper
• Broccoli
• Onion
• Crumbled feta 

How to:

• Spread a layer of feta-walnut filling on top of a pizza crust. 

• Top with fresh veggies. I chose green peppers, broccoli, and onions. 

• Top pizza with as much (or as little) feta as you desire. 

I love feta, so I loaded-up the pizza with it. Doesn’t it look like this poor, little piece of broccoli got stuck in a feta snow storm!? 😉 What’s your favorite type of cheese?

• Bake for 15 minutes on 450*F or until edges of crust begin to brown. 

• Allow pizza to cool, cut into slices, and enjoy warm (or cold). 

Initially, I served myself one slice of pizza, but I later went back for a second piece. It was just SO GOOD! Feta-rific!

Mal and I ate dinner in front of the TV while catching up with our DVR episodes. Btw, Mal LOVED this pizza! He raved about it through mouthfuls of pizza! 😀

I’m off to search for something sweet. Enjoy the evening, blog friends! I’m glad to be back!
