Pizza Bake

Today's recipe can best be described as what happens when pizza and a quiche have a baby! Introducing The Pizza Bake.

This recipe is perfect when you want want something tasty and uncomplicated and is a great way to use up ingredients you have lying about - and you can do this vegetarian too! The eggs and milk act as the "binder" for this recipe and it is something familiar and a little bit different all at the same time.

This recipe uses ready made bread slices instead of dough and is adapted from Taste.com.au however I tweaked a few things as I didn't want a super dense result.


MY TIPS

Use whatever meats and veggies you enjoy on your pizza - the options are limitless!
