Avocado Pizza Crisps Food

AVOCADO TOAST PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat a pizza oven or oven to 450 degrees F and place a pizza stone on the middle shelf.
• Combine the goat cheese, mascarpone, ricotta, basil, oregano, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth.
• Divide the dough into 2 pieces and roll out on a lightly-floured surface. Place 1 piece of dough on a pizza peel and drizzle the dough with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Smear half the cheese on evenly. Freshly grate about 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano on top. Bake until the crust is crispy, about 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Fan out the avocado on top of the cheese. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt and crushed red pepper, to taste.
• Slice and serve.

AVOCADO PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°F.
• Spread pizza base with tomato paste, garlic and shallots.
• Arrange mushrooms, olive and cherry tomatoes around base. Sprinkle with cheese. Put in oven and bake for 20 minutes or until everything is golden.
• Remove from oven and serve topped with avocado and basil leaves.

AVOCADO PIZZA CRISPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the pepper for 5 mins, stirring every now and then until softened. Add the garlic, stir well and remove from the heat. Stir in the cherry tomatoes.
• Meanwhile, make the base. Tip the flour into a bowl with the baking powder. Mix 80ml water with the oil, then add to the flour and stir in with the blade of a knife. Set aside for 5 mins.
• Cut the dough in half and knead on the work surface until smooth - you shouldn't need to add any extra flour. Roll out to a very thin 20cm circle, then lift onto the baking sheet. Do the same with the other half of the dough. Bake the two bases for 8 mins, then turn them over and top with the pepper and tomato mixture. Return to the oven for 10 mins more.
• Toss the avocado, rocket, onion and olives with the balsamic vinegar. Remove the bases from the oven and squash the tomatoes a little to fill any areas that aren't covered with the topping. Pile the avocado mixture on top and eat while still hot.

PIZZA CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a 10-inch skillet, cook ground beef with garlic and basil, over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until cooked through (5-7 minutes); drain well.
• Stir in pepperoni and pizza sauce.
• Cook over medium heat until hot (3 minutes).
• Stir in Italian cheese blend and 1 cup cheddar-American cheese blend, stirring until cheese melts.
• Arrange bread slices on 2 ungreased baking sheets.
• Optional - Bake until crisp if a crunchier snack is desired (about 8 minutes).
• Spread a generous tablespoon of beef mixture evenly over each slice.
• Top each with about 1 teaspoon of the remaining cheese.
• To freeze for later use - Place in freezer on baking sheets and leave until frozen (30 minutes); remove from baking sheets, and place in large resealable freezer bag (store in freezer up to 2 weeks).
• Bake until heated through (15-20 minutes fresh or 20-25 minutes frozen).
• Garnish with parsley, if desired.
• Serve warm.
