:happy: Vikki’s Veggie Pizza :happy: (290 CALORIES PER SLICE)

INGREDIENTS:

2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury refrigerated reduced-fat crescent dinner rolls
1 cup of Fat-Free cottage cheese (I use the Kraft Simply)
(You can use sour cream instead of cottage cheese if you like)
1 8-oz package of 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp. garlic salt
1 onion (chopped) or green onion (I saute my onions for a minute in olive oil)
2 cups shredded Kraft Fat-Free Cheddar Cheese
2 cups or MORE …small pieces of raw broccoli, small pieces of cauliflower,
Green onion (sliced), bell pepper (diced), matchstick carrots & tomatoes
(diced) (I use grape tomatoes & slice them, they are sweeter).

DIRECTIONS: (Heat oven to 350°F.)

Unroll the cans of dough into 4 long rectangles. Place it crosswise in an un-greased 15x10x1-inch pan (makes 10 slices) and press all over the bottom and up sides to form crust. Firmly press perforations to seal. (I have started making mine in two different baking dishes. I put each can of dough in a baking dish that it fits (9 x 13) and press it to cover the complete bottom of the dish and barely up the sides. The crust is not as thick this way. But if you like a lot of crust, then use only the one pan.

Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Less if you only use one can of dough in a pan like I do. (You just want it slightly browned.) Cool it in the pan completely, about 30 minutes.

In small bowl, mix cottage cheese, (cream cheese, and garlic salt until smooth. ( I mix my sauteed onions in with this mixture. It adds more flavor to it, I think.) Spread over cooled crust.

Add broccoli, cauliflower, onions, bell pepper, carrot sticks, tomatoes and any other veggie you like. (I press mine down into the the mixture so that the veggies don’t fall off as easily while you are eating it.)

Sprinkle with cheese and warm in oven just until cheese begins to melt or gets soft.

Do not over heat. You don’t want it warm, just the cheese melted enough to hold the toppings in place on the pizza. Let it cool completely then cover it and store it in the refrigerator. Serve it cold. It is better cold, out of the refrigerator, the cream cheese and cottage cheese mixture tastes better.

Feel free to change it up anyway you like. You might like different veggies!!

It has 290 calories per slice (if you use both cans of rolls and make it in one pan and cut it into 10 pieces).
They are large pieces and one fills me up for hours and I love that. Plus you add all those veggies into the day.

    It has 290 calories per slice (if you use use both cans of rolls in one large pan) and cut it into 10 pieces. But they are large pieces that really fill you up and stay with you along time. That is what I love about it....you fill full for hours.
