Cream Cheese Vegetable Pizza

This cream cheese vegetable pizza makes a refreshing change from tomato-based pizzas. Feta and Parmesan are also used in this vegetable pizza recipe and bell peppers and onions give it a tasty crunch. Pizza is popular all over the world and Americans eat nearly 350 slices of pizza every second!

The Japanese like tofu and squid on theirs, the Indians prefer chili paneer and tandoori chicken, Russians like a sardine, tuna, salmon, onion and mackerel mixture and Brazilians put green peas on their pizza. Did you also know the original Greek pizza was just crust and vegetables, no cheese? Or how about the fact that the original Italian pizza was made with green peppers and mozzarella? Pizza has a colorful history and tastes delicious, no matter what toppings you prefer!

Cream Cheese, Onion, and Bell Pepper Pizza

Ingredients -

1 green bell pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 yellow pepper, diced
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
10 oz readymade pizza dough
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup olive oil
4 oz softened full-fat cream cheese
2 oz crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon each dried oregano, sage, and basil

Preparation:

Preheat the grill to medium hot.

Sauté the onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic in 2 tablespoons of the oil over a medium high heat for 5 minutes.

Take this mixture off the heat and set aside.

Mix together the cream cheese, feta cheese and herbs. Add the rest of the olive oil and blend well.

Stretch the pizza dough over an oiled grill rack and grill for 3 minutes.

Turn the crust over.

Spread the cream cheese mixture on to the pizza crust and sprinkle the onion mixture and Parmesan over the top.

Grill until everything is hot and the cheese has melted.

This will take about 10 minutes.
