Pizza! Pizza! – 4 WW PTS
Hubby and I like to make pizza every once and a while. This flavor combo is one of our favorites. I am lactose intolerant, so this pizza only has goat cheese on it.Trader Joe’s has some great pre-made pizza doughs. They have plain, garlic & herb, and whole wheat. We like to get the whole wheat dough, although hubby thinks it needs some more flavor…
Chicken Sausage, Spinach, Sun Dried Tomato, Goat Cheese Pizza (4 WW PTS)
8 servings – from ME!
2 chicken sausages – sliced – we used the Trader Joe’s Sun Dried Tomato chicken sausage3 cups spinach – chopped
1/2 pkg sun dried tomatoes (NOT in oil) – chopped
~3 oz goat cheese (crumbled)
small amount of milk – used Silk Light Vanilla soymilkPizza dough – used Trader Joe’s whole wheat pizza dough
Follow directions for pizza dough and cook the dough by itself. Poke holes in the dough if you don’t like the bubbles.
While dough is cooking, melt ~2 oz goat cheese and a small amount of milk until chese is melted.
When dough is done, remove from oven and pour melted cheese over pizza. Top with spinach, tomatoes, and sausage. Cook in oven for another few minutes to heat the meat.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on pizza and heat a few more minutes.

I am also a big fan of quiche but never think to make it because the crust is usually a few too many calories for lunch. Love this recipe – definitely will have to attempt this at home!

The crust def isn’t worth the calories or the effort in my book.
We love quiche, and eat it quite often! I think it’s a great “clean out the fridge” meal that is suitable for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! I will say though, I usually make mine with a crust, but NEVER a homemade crust. I just don’t have time, nor skill, for that. I love using whole wheat crusts, or the deep-dish crusts. I’m a carboholic, so the crust is a must! (if I don’t have a crust, I just make frittata.)

Crust is a must! Love it.
I guess there’s really no difference between a frittata and a crust-less quiche… just how they’re cooked? I agree though – they’re great for cleaning out the fridge.
We don’t eat many carbs in our house. I don’t want to go as far as saying gluten intolerant, but I’ve never been able to digest starches that well…
goat cheese, yes please! i’m with you on not needing a crust with quiche 🙂
