Worthy of a Special Occasion

Refrigerated dough tends to shrink when removed from the can. Let the dough rest a few minutes before you start to work with it so it will be more pliable.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 pizza piece, 1 teaspoon sour cream, and 1 teaspoon cilantro)

Ingredients

  • 2  poblano chiles
  • Cooking spray
  • 2  cups  fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears)
  • 1/2  cup  chopped green onions
  • 1  garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2  cup  l% low-fat milk
  • 2  large egg whites
  • 1  large egg
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 1  cup  (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1  (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
  • 2  tablespoons  fat-free sour cream
  • 2  tablespoons  chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

Preheat broiler.

Place poblano chiles on a foil-lined baking sheet; broil 10 minutes or until blackened and charred, turning occasionally. Place in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel and discard skins, seeds, and stems. Chop peppers.

Lower oven temperature to 425°.

n?|?ILarge nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add corn, green onions, and garlic; sauté 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in milk; cook over medium heat 2 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Cool slightly. Place egg whites, egg, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; stir with a whisk. Stir in poblano peppers, corn mixture, and cheese.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll dough onto parchment paper; pat dough to form a 13 x 8-inch rectangle. Spread corn mixture over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold 1 inch of dough over corn mixture. Bake at 425° for 12 minutes or until set. Serve with sour cream; sprinkle with cilantro.

This is one of the best recipes I have ever made! It is easy to prepare, and the results are fabulous! The pizza has a fresh, lightly spiced flavor that is perfect for a summer meal. I have made this for company, and have even made for a special dinner when I was company at a friend's house! I use the thin crust recipe recipe from Cooking Light's Cheese and Basil Thin Crust Pizza, and put a few chopped jalepeno peppers in the crust, and it perfect! Do yourself a big favor and try this recipe soon.08/16/08
