You could also use crumpets, ciabatta or a small baguette cut in half to make pizza bases. Alternatively buy a ready-made pizza base from the supermarket and cut it into circles to make individual pizzas or even into the shape of teddy bear faces.

  

Ingredients

1 English breakfast muffin cut in half
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 tsp red pesto
1 tbsp olive oil

2 to 3 button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 small red onion, sliced
1/2 small courgette, thinly sliced
salt and freshly ground black pepper
50g (2 oz) grated mozzarella or Cheddar cheese

1 slice ham or salami cut into pieces (optional for non vegetarians)

 

Method

Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan and cook the onion, mushrooms and courgette until softened and becoming golden. Season with a little salt and pepper. Toast the muffins until golden. Mix together the tomato puree and red pesto and spread over the muffins. Divide the vegetables between the two halves and scatter the cheese over the top.

Place under a pre-heated grill for about 4 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
