Karate Night Pizzas (or Three-Cheese and Tomato Pizzas)
Serves 4 (Chris didn't think one pita was filling enough for him, so make an extra one if you have an appetite!)
Prep Time: 5 minutes, Cooking Time: 5 minutes
4 (6-inch) whole wheat pitas
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
optional: chopped fresh basil, pepperoni
1. Preheat oven to 425*.
2. Arrange pita breads on baking sheet. Bake until heated through, about 1 minute on each side.
3. Top pita breads evenly with goat cheese and mozzarella. Arrange tomatoes on top; sprinkle with Parmesan. Heat until cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with oregano.
Served with fresh strawberries.
Results: Thursday nights are crazy nights in our house, because Steven takes karate early in the evening. So I try to find something simple and quick that we can make between picking him up from school and getting him ready for karate. This meal is perfect for that! And even better, Steven LOVED them (and even requested one for lunch the next day!), so he has asked that we have them every Thursday night and they are now known as "Karate Night Pizzas". Shockingly, he said they were "even better than Dominos!"
These are super simple to make and you can customize everyone's pizza. (We left the tomatoes off the boys' pizzas and added pepperoni, added basil to ours, etc...) I thought these would be missing something (hellooooooo...pizza sauce!) but they weren't missing a thing. Delicious! Can't wait for Thursday nights!
Oh, and can I just point out that my boys love goat cheese? Weirdos! Steven won't eat a pot roast but give him some goat cheese and he's all set!
