Recipe: Pretend Pizza(s)

I just invented this recipe this afternoon, and I thought I would share it with you.

Ingredients:
  • As many rounds/slices (depending on what you call them) of bread as you feel hungry enough to eat
  • Tomato or brown sauce
  • Cooked chicken or ham (if you are a carnivore)
  • Vegetables of your choice (excluding carrots, which don't work well oven baked)
  • Fruit of your choice
  • 1 spring onion, or one quarter of one medium onion
  • Cheese
  • Garlic (if you like it)
  • Worcestershire sauce (if you happen to have any)

Method:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees (sorry I don't know the equivalent gas mark)
  2. Spread bread with tomato/brown sauce as thick as you like
  3. If you are eating meat, tear up the chicken or ham and place on the bread
  4. Chop onion, garlic (if you're using this) and veg and place on the bread
  5. Slice cheese and place slices on top of the bread
  6. Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce, if you have it
  7. Place pretend pizzas in oven for 10 minutes, or until you smell burning
  8. Take pretend pizzas out of oven
  9. Turn off oven
  10. Eat pretend pizzas

It's a nice easy thing to make if you're not in a cooking/making much effort mood. I'm not sure how healthy it is, but if you use plenty of veg and brown bread it might not be too bad.

If you mean celcius, then 180 degrees if Gas Mark Four.

Just to mention, you could replec the tomato sauce with tomato puree, to make it healthier. I've just made some with the tomato ketchup - it was lovely, but a bit too sweet. Anyway, thanks for the recipe!

Thank you anonymous. Glad you liked the recipe. I think you're probably right about the tomato sauce/puree issue.
