Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb your favorite pizza dough
  • 3/4 cup “pizza sauce
  • 1 cup mixed veggies i used corn, green pepper, green onion, carrot, mushrooms
  • 6 olives thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions
 

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 180° or 350°F.
  • Grease you muffin tin and set aside.
  • Chop your veggies toppings ( the smaller they are, the easier they are to fit into the pizza cups). Here I used green pepper, green onion, corn, carrot, corn, mushrooms and olives.
  • Feel free to experiment and use different veggies, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, pineapple, etc.
  • Next you need to flatten out your dough, and then cut out large circles of dough to place in your muffin tray.
  • Gently press the circles into the greased muffin tin cups. Make sure there is just enough dough popping up over the edges of each cup.
  • Now for the fun part: stuff your pizza cups! I put a bit of basil olive oil on the bottom of each cup, followed by a teaspoon of pizza sauce, a pinch of cheese, all the veggie toppings I could fit, then topped again with another pinch of cheese and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown (mine took 13 minutes for the dough to start to turn golden brown and for the cheese to bubble).
  • Remove from the oven and Serve almost immediately. Enjoy!!
