Three-cheese Garden Pizza

Here's a simple and delicious recipe that I made quite often at shows when I was first getting started. It's healthy and can be prepared in about 45 minutes.

Ingredients:
1 pkg (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza crust

1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup (4 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup (1 oz) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 small onion, sliced into rings
2 plum tomatoes, sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 cup sliced mushrooms

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Unroll dough onto bottom of lightly greased Large Bar Pan. Gently stretch dough to evenly cover the bottom of the pan. Place oil in (1-cup) Prep Bowl. Press garlic into oil using Garlic Press; brush evenly over dough using Chef’s Silicone Basting Brush. Bake crust 7 minutes. Remove from oven; place on Stackable Cooling Rack.

2. Meanwhile, grate cheddar and mozzarella cheeses using Ultimate Mandoline fitted with grating blade; place in Classic Batter Bowl. Grate Parmesan cheese over batter bowl using Microplane® Adjustable Grater. Add Italian seasoning to cheeses using Adjustable Measuring Spoon; toss lightly using Small Mix ’N Scraper® and set aside. Using Ultimate Mandoline, slice onion and tomatoes using v-shaped blade; slice zucchini using crinkle cut blade. Slice mushrooms using Utility Knife.

3. Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture evenly over crust; top evenly with onion, zucchini, tomatoes and mushrooms. Sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture. Bake 15-18 minutes or until crust is golden brown; remove from oven to cooling rack. Cut into squares using Pizza Cutter. Serve using Mini-Serving Spatula.
