Upside down broccoli pizza

I read a lot of magazines, mostly food related stuff. Therefore, I tear out lots of recipes. This is one area of my life where I am very disorganized. I throw the recipe in a drawer and hope I can find it later when I actually need it. I have been thinking about buying an electronic recipe keeper but the $300 price has been holding me back.

I tried a new recipe last night. It was a hit with 4 out of the 5 in the house. Noah actually liked it and he normally will not eat broccoli. I modified the recipe greatly since the original called for turkey (only 1 will eat that) and onions (2 will not touch them).

Upside Down Broccoli Pizza

I didn't really measure anything so I will make guesses for you. First of all, you need some pizza dough. I don't buy premade dough. It is cheaper to make your own at home and my bread maker does a great job. I made a half batch although next time, I will make a full batch and freeze half for another day.

I cooked about 3 cups of frozen broccoli in the microwave. Drain and put in large, oven proof skillet. I added about 1/2 cup alfredo sauce and 1/2 cup ranch dressing and mix well. I also added some dried chives and freshly ground pepper. Top with mozzarella cheese. Roll pizza dough out to a circle that will cover the skillet. This is my least favorite part.....I cannot roll a circle.

I covered the broccoli then brushed the top with a beaten egg. Bake about 20 minutes @ 400 degrees. (Don't forget to keep a hot pad on the handle. I have a nice burn on my hand right now because I forgot :()
