I always have a few pizza bases on hand for emergencies and along with blue cheese, a pesto or herb spread and some onion, you can create a delicious pizza. Those who aren’t blue cheese fans could try a more traditional topping of tomato paste, mozzarella, ham and pineapple or mushroom and cheese.

Ingredients

1 TbspOlive oil
1Red onion, sliced
4 smallPizza bases, Turkish
4 TbspPesto, I used Waiheke Herb Spread
1 cupGrated mozzarella
150 gBlue cheese (Main)

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 200C.
  2. Heat the oil in a small frying pan. Add the onion, cooking slowly for 10 minutes to soften.
  3. Place the pizza bases on a baking tray. Spread with pesto, mozzarella, sprinkle over the onion, crumble over the blue cheese, season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place into the hot oven for 10-15 minutes until crispy and golden.
  5. Cut into pieces and serve hot.
