Cheesy Pizza Variations

Feel free to any other veggies to this cheesy pizza (it’s a great way to empty the fridge!): mushrooms, leeks, bell peppers, red onions, sweetcorn, and spinach will all work. Just make sure to sauté the veggies beforehand, and cook until all the moisture is removed.

If you want to add other meats, you can also use cooked ground beef, crispy bacon, or shredded rotisserie chicken.

Feel free to add fresh herbs like basil, oregano, cilantro, or parsley.

The cheddar cheese can be substituted with mozzarella, feta, or Swiss cheese.

Tips

Short on time and need to cook the potatoes fast? Cook them in an instant pot. For medium potatoes, place 1 cup of water in the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot, then place the potatoes on a rack and cook for 16 minutes. Allow natural pressure release for 15 minutes.

For added texture, use a combination of all-purpose flour and wholewheat flour.

Cook the Cheezy Pizza over medium heat. If the pan is too hot, the bread will burn before it’s fully cooked, and the cheese will not melt.
