Munchie Mini Pizza

Sometimes you don't want to fuss around in the kitchen. You just want to put something together and eat, but your tired of PB&J and microwaved burritos. Well, how about healthy warm, homemade a pizza?

I usually keep flat bread or pita on hand to dip in some "guilty hummus" (I'll post that recipe soon). This one can be customized with endless combinations.

Kitchen supplies - pizza pan or cookie sheet, pizza cutter, sauté pan, small sauce pan, knife, cutting board, oven or microwave.

Ingredients:
1 Greek Style Pita (grill a tortilla for a crispy thin crust version)
1/2 c pizza sauce (make your own with crushed tomatoes and tomato paste)
1/4 c Soy Mozzarella (I used Daiya)
1 Tbls EVOO
2 crimini mushrooms -sliced
2 Tbls Walla Walla onion - thinly sliced
1 clove garlic - crushed
2 fresh basil leaves - torn

Pre heat oven to 375 degrees. Simmer the pizza sauce in small sauce pan. Sauté the onions, garlic and mushrooms until tender but not too soft. On a lightly oiled pizza pan place the pita bread. Top with pizza sauce, then onions mushrooms and garlic. Sprinkle with cheese and place in oven for 7-8 minutes. Soy cheese melts differently than regular so if it looks runny it's over done. Keep an eye on it around 5 mins. If you use the microwave only heat for 2-3 minutes and add additional time if needed.
Once done heating remove from the oven and sprinkle with torn basil, slice and enjoy.
