This is great! I hate the trend of having a separate kitchen gadget for everything
I do something very similar for a simple pizza in a pan,.rather than firing up an oven. I’m oven averse 😬
Again, you can use anything on top. Leftovers etc.
Wipe non-stick pan with oil. Medium heat. Put lebanese bread face down for a short time till it’s at least warm or slightly toasted. Flip so it’s face up. Aldi Lebanese bread fits nicely in a 30cm pan. Sauce, cheese, then whatever toppings you like. Cover with lid, and wait until the bottom has got nice and crisp. The cheese should have melted and the top ingredients heated up by then. If you really wanted the top to get a bit of a crisp on it, you could throw it under the griller for a while, but I can’t wait that long, and if you do, you probably should have done it in the oven anyway.
My favourite topping for pizza, quesadillas, nachos^1^ or anything crispy:
sweat down onions cut into rings and different coloured capsicums cut into strips until they become nice and soft. They also become beautifully sweet.
Slice up chicken into bite size pieces, or dismantle a breast from a bachelor’s handbag into bite size pieces. Grab some mexican seasoning sachet, Fajita is my preferred, and coat the chicken lightly in that. Toss it around in a bowl to coat evenly. Chuck the chicken in the pan and cook/warm it.
Cheese & Sauce. You can use whatever cheese you like. I’ve been using Aldi’s Vintage Cheddar lately. Also, you don’t need to grate it. Just slice it reasonably thin and cover the area. BBQ sauce is the go. I use Bullseye Original, and loooooove it.
Put it on something crispy and enjoy 😋
^1^ If doing nachos, leaving out bbq sauce, but adding sour cream, guac, diced tomatoes/salsa and lettuce is acceptable
