Goat Cheese Pita Pizza

Use your microwave to thaw the broccoli, or in the morning put it in the refrigerator and it will thaw in time for dinner.

Ingredients

¼ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 ounces chevre (French goat cheese), at room temperature
1 tbsp each grated Parmesan cheese, divided, chopped fresh parsley,
and fresh basil or ½ tsp basil leaves
2 tsp olive or vegetable oil
1 garlic clove, minced
4 sun-dried tomato halves (not packed in oil)
¼ cup water
½ cup thawed and well-drained frozen chopped broccoli
2 pitas (2 ounces each)

Method
 

  • Using a fork, in small mixing bowl combine ricotta cheese, chevre, 2 tsp Parmesan cheese, the parsley, and the basil and mix well; set aside.

  • In a 9-inch nonstick skillet heat oil; add garlic and sauté over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.

  • Add tomatoes and water and cook until tomatoes are softened, 1 to 2 minutes.

  • Using a slotted spoon, remove tomatoes from liquid and cut each in half.

  • Return to skillet; add broccoli and cook, stirring frequently, until liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes.

  • On baking sheet arrange pitas in a single layer and broil, turning once, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

  • Onto each pita spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture (about 2 tbsp); top each with half of the broccoli mixture.

  • Top each pizza with half of the remaining cheese mixture (about 1 tbsp) and then sprinkle each with ½ tsp of the remaining Parmesan cheese.

  • Broil until cheese mixture is melted and pizzas are heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
