I've had this recipe for awhile and finally just made it. I did a version with ham and pineapple, though since I had a lot of ham to use up. I ran it through the WW recipe builder and it, too, was 6 points per serving. I have been imagining all of the different variations you could make. Taco, chicken & spinach, sausage (turkey), etc! So many fun things to do. You could add lots of veggies and/or beans to make it healthier, as well. It was so good! The crust wasn't soggy which was quite surprising.

Ham & Pineapple version
3/4 lb. ham
1/2 of 15 oz. can of pineapple tidbits
10 spinach leaves (these can easily be left out)
3 scallions, chopped
1 15 oz. can chopped tomatoes
Prepare the same way as above and enjoy! :)
Oh yes! I've made that one too! It is quite good :)
ReplyDeleteLove it. I would add jalapenos to the ham and pineapple, leave out onion and add a little blue cheese. It would be like the Melvin and Papa Kenos. That is Patdaddy's favorite!
