Vegetable Rice Pizza

 

I made this last night for dinner I had leftover rice and this was a great way

to use it up, and the kids loved it. I left off the olives and used onion, but

use whatever veggies you like.

 

1 3/4 cups cooked brown or white rice

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/4 cup tomato sauce

1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning

1/4 tsp. each: garlic powder and ground black pepper

2 tbsps. grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

1/3 cup thinly sliced mushrooms

1/3 cup thinly sliced zucchini

1/4 cup pitted, sliced black olives or sliced red onion

1/4 cup diced red pepper

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

 

In medium bowl, combine rice, cheddar cheese and egg.

Press into lightly greased 12-inch pizza pan.

Bake in 400 degree oven for 5 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned; remove from

oven. In small bowl, combine tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and

pepper; spread over rice crust.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and half of mozzarella cheese.

Top with mushrooms, zucchini, olives and red pepper.

Sprinkle with remaining cheeses and parsley.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes longer to heat through and melt cheese.

Makes about 4 servings.
