Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 small Egg (38 g)
- 1 pinch of Salt
- 3 medium sliced (14 g) Olives
- 1/2 tbsp (8 g) Pesto Sauce
- 1 handful Spinach (10 g)
- 1/2 small Tomato, sliced (45 g)
- 1/2 cup chopped Broccoli (70 g) (finely chopped or grated)
- 1/3 cup grated Cheddar Cheese (35 g)
- 1 tsp Pine Nuts (3 g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F/200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place the broccoli in a food processor and pulse until it’s finely chopped or resembles rice-sized bits.
- Microwave the processed broccoli on high for 2–3 minutes, or until soft. Let it cool for 2 minutes, then transfer it onto a clean kitchen towel. Once cool enough to handle, wrap the towel around the broccoli and twist the ends tightly to squeeze out excess liquid. If needed, use a second towel to help absorb the moisture.
- In a large bowl, mix the broccoli, egg, grated cheese, and salt. Stir well to combine until you get a dough-like mixture.
- Pour the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and shape it into a pizza crust. Press it down evenly to ensure the base firms up while baking.
- Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and spread a layer of pesto sauce over the crust. Add sliced tomatoes, olives, and spinach. Sprinkle with pine nuts.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10–12 minutes, until the toppings are cooked, and the cheese is melted.
- Let the pizza cool for 2–3 minutes before cutting. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
