We had some last night actually. 

My mother-in-law Jean made some individual pizzas with mini rolls. She sauteed off onions and mushrooms before adding them to the pizzas. 

They were soooooooo good. 

We had them with some giant potato wedges and sweetcorn. A simple but rather fabulous meal. 

The boy was delighted and ate three.

Of course pizza doesn't have to be on a traditional dough base. 

We sometimes make them with English muffins (nothing like sweet blueberry muffins, for any of my US readers, more a bread type bake that is yeasted but has a sweetness to it. They are wonderful toasted and spread with butter).

We also make pizzas with naan bread, flour tortillas or puff pastry.

This time I made some pizza dip. It is hot, oozy and tastes like pizza. 

Luxurious!

Dunk breadsticks, vegetable sticks or nachos in this dip. Look at it stretch. 

Demonstrated by my able assistant.



It's simple to make too, only a handful of ingredients. 

Cream cheese (Philadelphia), mozzarella, veggie style parmesan and tomato sauce are the main ingredients. 

I used my quick blender pizza sauce, which is super tasty, but you could use jarred tomato sauce. I topped it with slices of cherry tomato, but that is optional.

Go on make a note of this and make it for movie night, you won't be disappointed and it will go down a storm with your friends and family.
