Oven Baked Pizza Quesadillas

One of my favorite foods is pizza. It's simple and straight forward: dough, sauce, cheese and toppings.  One day I was sick of the same old pizza. I looked in the refrigerator and saw tortilla shells. First I made breadsticks with the tortilla shells (they were okay). Then I thought why not make a pizza on a tortilla (super thin crust pizza!) Yum! 

Ingredients

2 tortilla shells

mozzarella cheese

pepperoni

pizza sauce 

garlic powder

oregano

(any additional "toppings")

Directions

Preheat oven to 325° F. Once heated place a tortilla on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 4 minutes. Next prepare your "pizza". Layer the tortilla with a generous amount of sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder and oregano. Bake for another 4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Once the cheese is melted remove from oven and put the other tortilla shell on top of your already baked tortilla pizza. Bake for approximately 6 more minutes or until top is golden brown. Remove from oven, cut and serve. Enjoy!

Pizza Puffs

These pizza puffs can be great as an appetizer or an easy afternoon snack. When you're craving pizza but don't want to fork out the cash to go out and buy one, these will surely hit the spot.

Ingredients

1 cup flour

3/4 tsp. baking powder

3/4 cup milk

1 egg

1/2 to 1 cup mozzarella cheese (depending on your love for cheese)

4oz. pepperoni, chopped (approx. half of a small bag)

Garlic Powder (optional) 

Oregano (optional)

Pizza Sauce (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400° F and grease a mini muffin pan with PAM or other like products; set pan aside.  In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, milk, egg, cheese, and pepperoni.  Stir these ingredients until mixed. Spoon batter into the prepared mini muffin cups until approximately 3/4 of the way full. Once the batter is in the prepared pan sprinkle the garlic powder and oregano to your own liking over top of the batter. Bake for 14-16 minutes. Enjoy the puffs by dipping them in pizza sauce while warm.
