He'd searched in the fridge for pitas to make quick pizzas, but we had eaten them all (we buy Lebanese pita, it's THE BEST). So he used bagels. It was awesome. Occurred to me that some of you may not have thought of this, so I pass it along.
Turn the oven on. 175C is fine.
Get your half bagels and spread some tomato sauce on. Martin used Catelli "Diced Tomato and Basil".
Then add your veggies. Martin used onion and green pepper.
Top with cheese. Martin used old cheddar.
Bake until melty.
Endless permutations here. Could add salami etc. Different cheese, different veggies. Use up leftovers, why not. Quick, tasty, and nutritious lunch.
The wine didn't hurt.
Had to come and find out what the veggies were. I could see the green pepper, it was the onion that I wasn't sure about. :) Personally, I couldn't do either of those from a digestive point of view, but I love the idea of little pizzas made with bagels. We often have bagels in the house, so I might explore that idea further. :) Wine, at lunchtime? How are you not asleep? lol
ReplyDeleteEasy: I haven't finished it, LOL.
DeleteYes, the veggies are still quite firm. But these are things I eat raw, so I can do it. But you could use pre-cooked veggies, or any veggies of your choice.
That's it! Pita Pizza for dinner! I am slightly sick with a sore throat and don't feel much like cooking. I made a noodly soup with vegs and miso and tons of garlic and ginger for a late medicinal lunch. Was planning to use a ready-to-go spag sauce from the freezer, but don't really feel like more pasta. We had carrot/beet/celery juice and can do without more veg. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWe've done this with English Muffins too... I've got some Naan Bread here, might try that for a change... hmm.. maybe with some Tikka Masala on it...
ReplyDeleteNaan would work. I'd eat English muffins if I had to, but I'm not really keen. They don't taste like muffins do in England. (Surprise).
DeleteIt never hurts to post little things like this. You took a pretty picture!
ReplyDeleteBTW, how is an English English Muffin different than the ones we buy in the US?
Hard to put my finger on it, just better. Imagine the finest artisan-made "English" muffin you ever had. The ones here called that are nasty mass-produced tasteless things.
