Story


This was an attempt to have a healthier pizza my kids can assemble themselves. This requires all bits to be ready beforehand- what the French call a mise en place. The result is slightly sweetish and the goats cheese should not be too sour if you want kids to eat it. An it is actually a lot healthier than other pizza types! Well, a bit, at least.
For a nicer result (but less veggies) slice the courgette thinly and lay it flat, bake raw.
