Top Hat Low Fat Pizza Recipe

Not only does this rhyme, this weird pizza recipe is made WITHOUT sauce! How will you live without pizza sauce? You may ask and the answer is by using cheese as the base of this recipe instead. If you are scratching your head, just be patient and read on for clarification.

The vegetables bake down into the cheese and the whole pizza is topped with cold avocados and tomatoes. Sound too healthy to be a decent pizza? Well, it is much more than decent, but don’t take my word for it. Make it for yourself and seven hungry friends, if you dare. (If you don’t have seven friends, invite 3 and one half friends and eat the whole thing. If you don’t have three friends, that’s your problem, but you can contemplate the situation over several slices of this scrumptious pizza.)
