Asparagus Puff Pizza

Quick Cooking

You can prepare this homemade pizza in less time than it takes to bake a frozen one. "It relies on a prebaked crust, so it's ready in a jiffy," notes Norma Shouse of Zephyrhills, Florida. For extra flavor, season the asparagus with garlic salt, basil and thyme before arranging in a pretty sunburst pattern.

SERVINGS: 8

CATEGORY: Appetizer

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds fresh asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 prebaked Italian bread shell crust (1 pound)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 3 egg whites

Directions:

Place asparagus in a steamer basket over 1 in. of boiling water in a saucepan; cover and steam until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towel.
    Place crust on an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan; arrange asparagus on top. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, cheese and mustard; mix well. In a small mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into mayonnaise mixture; spread over asparagus.
    Bake at 450° for 12-13 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into wedges; serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8 servings.
