Pampered Chef Three Cheese Garden Pizza

I think this is the last of the Pampered Chef recipes posts! But I can’t resist passing on fun new tasty recipes when I find them! I just wish I’d taken a photo or two of them to share with yall.
Again, we’re not huge onion fans at our house, so I’d probably remove those. Hubby’s getting better about eating more vegetarian, but I think he’d be happier if we put ground beef on his half of the pizza.

Ingredients
1 pkg refrigerated pizza crust (used Pillsbury)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 c shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 c grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 small onion, sliced into rings
2 plum tomatoes, sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 c sliced mushrooms

Directions
Preheat oven to 400. Unroll dough onto bottom of lightly greased Large Bar Pan. Gently stretch dough to evenly cover the bottom on the pan. Place oil in small prep bowl. Press garlic into oil; brush envly over dough using basting brush. Bake crust for 7 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, place grated cheeses in medium sized bowl. Add Italian seasoning; toss lightly and set aside. Using Mandoline, slice onion & tomatoes using v-shaped blade; slice zucchini with crinkle cut blade. Slice mushrooms with knife.

Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture evenly over the crust; top evenly with onion, zucchini, tomatoes and mushrooms. Sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture. Bake 15-18 minutes or until crust is golden brown; remove from the oven. Cut into squares using pizza cutter. Helps to have small spatula to remove from pan. Yield per the recipe: 6 main dish or 12 appetizer servings.

More Pampered Chef Recipes

Maria, the pampered chef consultant emailed us her recipes from the party Saturday. I’ll split these up into two posts.
I’m looking forward to making the artichoke dip for our next party (have yall noticed I’m really into artichoke dips recently?!).

I’m not a huge onion fan, so I’d probably reduce the amount of onion in the salsa. But it was really cool how she mixed & cut it all up with the Pampered Chef Salad Chopper (I might have to borrow it from Marie to make this!).

Elegant Artichoke Cups
Ingredients
1 tbsp vegetable oil
24 square wonton wrappers
1 can artichoke hearts, drained & coarsely chopped
1/2 medium red bell pepper
1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 c grated fresh parmesan cheese
1 lemon
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 c mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, pressed
Add’l grated fresh parmesan cheese

Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Place vegetable oil in small bowl. Place wonton wrappers on cutting board. Lightly brush one side of each wonton with oil using basting brush. Press one wonton wrapper into each cup of the mini muffin pan (which I will soon have!). Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers. Bake 6 mintues or just until edges are light golden brown.
Meanwhile, coarsely chop artichokes and place in medium sized bowl. Remove the seeds from the bell pepper & dice finely. Zest lemon to measure 1/2 tsp zest. Finely chop parsley (she did it using the pizza cutter!). Add bell pepper, grated cheese, zest, parsley, mayonnaise, and pressed garlic to bowl. Mix well with spoonula.
Fill each wonton cup with about 1 tbsp of artichoke mixture; sprinkle with add’l Parmesan cheese. Bake 8 minutes or until edges of wontons are golden brown & cheese begins to melt.
Remove wontons from pan & serve immediately. Makes approximately 24 appetizers.
