Pizza with a difference...

Pizza bites with pumpkin
Ingredients
- 600 g pumpkin, cleaned
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 120 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 120 g mozzarella, torn into small pieces
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 4 Tbs parsley, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced

Preparation
Chop pumpkin using a food processor until rice-like.

Saut pumpkin in hot olive oil for 3 minutes. Set aside and let cool.

Mix feta and mozzarella; add, one at a time, eggs.

Mix and combine.

Add pumpkin and spices, mix well until well blended.

Evenly spoon the mixture into the greased muffin tin molds. Press pizza dough down evenly and firmly (the pressing down firmly is very important to make sure they stick together).

Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes at 200C.

Remove the pizza bites from the oven and let set until cool (this is also very important let the pizza bites set in their pan for 5 10 minutes before removing if you take them out while they are too hot they will break).
