Crustless Pizza – Nigella Lawson

I was excited when I came across this recipe. When, I read what was in it and how it was made, I had doubts about it coming out, like pizza, and I was correct. It did turn out to be a delicious dish and I would make it again with a few changes. I would put the vegetables in the batter and possibly add just a bit of oil. I would start with half a tablespoon.

Crustless Pizza (adapted from Nigella Kitchen by Nigella Lawson.)

Ingredients:

1 egg
2/3 cup gluten-free brown rice mixture
Salt
1 cup milk
Olive oil cooking spray Cheddar
1 tomato, sliced thin
3 scallions, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped

Method:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the flour, salt, to taste, and milk to make a smooth batter. (Mine was slightly lumpy)

Spray a round ovenproof dish, then stir half the grated cheese into the batter, before pouring it into the dish.

Bake for 30 minutes. Take the dish out of the oven, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and tomatoes, bell pepper and scallions. Return the dish to the oven and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes to make sure it’s heated through.

Once the cheese on top is melted take it out of the oven and serve, cut into slices. A green salad on the side would not be a bad idea…
