Crab Dip Pizza with Broccoli Cauliflower Carrot Crust

Crab Dip Pizza with Broccoli Cauliflower Carrot Crust

I love crab dip and thought crab dip on a pizza seemed like a good idea.  I like packing vegetables into my pizza crust.  I had broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots I needed to use up, so I decided to combine those in my pizza crust.

Ingredients:

Crust-

2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup cauliflower florets

2 large carrots

2 eggs

1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning

¼ cup reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese

¼ cup shredded Monterrey jack cheese

Toppings:

baby spinach, diced bell pepper, cherry tomatoes

Crab Dip-

1 pound crab meat

½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

1/2 sweet onion diced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons Worcestershire

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1-2 teaspoons hot sauce

½ cup reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup shredded Monterey jack cheese

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with olive oil spray.
  2. Add broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots to a food processor one at a time.  Pulse to chop.  Then use a spatula to transfer to a medium bowl.
  3. Add eggs and Old Bay and mix to combine with the diced vegetables.
  4. Fold in the shredded cheeses.
  5. Spread the mixture out in an even layer on the baking sheet until crust is ¼ inch thick.
  6. Bake 15 minutes.
  7. Mix crab meat, yogurt, onion, lemon juice, Worcestershire, Dijon, and hot sauce in a medium bowl.  Fold in shredded cheeses.
  8. Sprinkle a layer of baby spinach on the crust.
  9. Spread crab dip mixture on the pizza.  I used half on this pizza and on a stuffed crust pizza for my kids.
  10. Add tomatoes and bell pepper.
  11. Sprinkle some more shredded cheese on top if you really like cheese like my family.
  12. Bake 10-15 more minutes.
  13. Enjoy!
