Ingredients:

1 oz pepperoni
27g
2 oz mozzarella cheese
54g
1/2 cup broccoli
40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Thinly slice the pepperoni if it isn’t pre-sliced.
- Shred the mozzarella cheese if it’s not already shredded.
- Chop the broccoli florets into small pieces.
2. Preheat Your Cooking Surface:
- If using an oven, preheat to 450°F (230°C).
- If using a toaster oven, preheat to a similar temperature or select the ‘toast’ function.
- If using a microwave, prepare a microwave-safe plate.
3. Assemble the Pizza:
- Take your pizza base (pita, ready-made pizza base, or flatbread).
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce or pizza sauce evenly over the base, if desired.
- Evenly distribute the pepperoni slices over the sauce.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni.
- Arrange the broccolo florets evenly on top of the cheese.
4. Cook the Pizza:
- Place the assembled pizza in the oven or toaster oven on a baking sheet. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the pizza are golden brown.
- If using a microwave, cook on high for approximately 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve:
- Carefully remove the pizza from the oven, toaster oven, or microwave.
- Let it cool slightly before slicing.
- Enjoy your quick and delicious broccoli and pepperoni pizza!

Tips:

- Preheat the oven or toaster oven to achieve the perfect crispy crust and melted cheese.

- Consider using pre-shredded mozzarella cheese to save time.

- Steam the broccoli beforehand to ensure it cooks well in the short baking time.

- For a healthier option, use whole wheat or cauliflower crusts.

- Add some Italian seasoning or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra flavor kick.
