Ingredients

  • 6 BAYS® English Muffins, torn into pieces
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tomatoes, cored and sliced
  • 4 cups sliced mixed vegetables (peeled eggplant, leeks, broccoli, red pepper, mushrooms, zucchini)
  • 3 tablespoons Boursin herb and garlic cheese or goat cheese
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  • Place half of muffins at a time in food processor and process into crumbs; pour into bowl. Mix eggs, Parmesan, basil, and oregano in food processor until blended; pour over muffins and mix until evenly incorporated.

  • Brush bottom and sides of a 10-inch round deep-dish pizza pan with one tablespoon of olive oil. Press muffin mixture into pan. Set aside.

  • Heat remaining oil in a large skillet. Stir in vegetables, cover and steam/sauté over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove from heat. Drop Boursin onto crust by teaspoonfuls; top with tomato slices and sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake in preheated 400° oven 20 to 25 minutes. Run knife around edge to release, and cut into wedges.
