  Quick and Easy Low Fat Pizza
 
  Ingredients:
 

1 12-inch baked pizza crust, (look for a low saturated fat / low cholesterol brand)

About 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

3/4 cup prepared pizza sauce

1/2 cup reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup fat free mozzarella cheese, shredded (or reduced fat)

1/2 cup diced sweet onion

1/2 cup diced green bell pepper

1 cup fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced

or 1-3 oz. can sliced mushrooms

1/2 cup of black olives, chopped or sliced

1/2 cup 97% fat free ham or honey roasted turkey, chopped

1 Tbsp. 65% vegetable oil spread (to sauté fresh mushrooms)

Seasonings:

According to taste - I use crushed red pepper, fresh chopped basil, and
oregano. Italian Seasoning may be used in place of oregano and basil. About 1 1/2 tsp. of the seasonings. I prefer fresh herbs over dried, if I can get them at the grocery store. If you don't like the "hot" taste, omit the red pepper.

   Directions
 
 

Place crust on a pizza pan or large baking sheet. Sprinkle olive oil over crust and rim. Use a basting brush to coat crust. (this moistens the crust) Spread pizza sauce on crust and top with 1/2 of the mixture of cheeses, seasonings, then layer remaining ingredients: onion, green pepper, mushrooms, olives, ham or turkey, and other half of cheese mixture on top.

If you don't want to use canned mushrooms, and don't want to sauté the fresh mushrooms, put them on fresh. I have tried it all three ways and it is good no matter which way you choose.

*You may vary ingredients to your liking. You could make it an all-Vegetarian pizza. Just forget the meat and add other vegetables on top such as: broccoli or zucchini.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Turn temperature down to 425 degrees

Place Pizza on pan; put in oven and bake

10-15 minutes or until cheese melts
