Liz's pizza omelette

All the kids I know (godchildren included) know that Aunty Liz is not too shabby in the kitchen but all they ever want to make is Pizzas (the youth of today hey?! Ha!) I want them to have fun but cooking the same thing over and over again with them gets a tad tiresome. So when I started the campaign for British Lion Eggs I thought I'd reinvent the pizza with the idea of it being less calories for the little ones (under 300) and something different for me to do with them at cooking time.
The great thing about this is they can get involved easily, it's tasty and because I use British lion eggs, I'm guaranteed the highest standard of food safety. Check out the video below to see how to make this great main meal... the kids love to watch it bubble up in the oven too. And, just like a normal pizza, you can add your favourite toppings, but I've gone for something simple.
