1 packet of ready rolled pizza dough
2 carrots
1 courgette (zucchini)
2 leeks
100-150g poitrine fumée en tranches fines (wafer thin rashers of bacon)
250ml béchamel sauce
50g grated cheese
1 tbsp oil
Pinch herbes de Provence*
Salt & pepper
Method:
- Cut the carrots in half lengthways and slice into half rounds.
- Cut the zucchini into matchsticks.
- Thinly slice the leeks.
- Heat the oil in a pan and sweat the vegetables for 15 minutes, seasoning them with the herbes de Provence, salt and pepper, and stirring often.
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
- Lay the pizza dough on a lined oven tray.
- Make folded foil supports for the edges of the dough and gently raise the sides so that the filling won't run out. It doesn't need to be as high as a flan.
- Spread the vegetables over the dough.
- Dollop on the béchamel so it is evenly distributed.
- Cover with the bacon rashers.
- Cook for 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle with grated cheese and put under the grill for 5 minutes.

I'm not certain that a vegetarian lunch would include as much poitrine fumée as that... ;)
Walt: OMG ! You are right, what was I thinking? I didn't even notice what I had written - just goes to show that I only pay lip service to this vegetarian fad thing, like all the other carnivores.
Your 2 comments made me laugh out loud! This looks really appetizing.
Looks great. Amazing what you can do without a full kitchen.
By the way, here's hoping Geoffrey Rush (from Toowoomba) winds best supporting actor tonight.
wins...
I made the Valencia Orange Cake last weekend as per your recipe. It was delicious. Thank you for posting it.
Kind regards
Leila
Diogenes: Is Geoffrey Rush from Toowoomba? Must have been a long time ago...
Leila: I'm afraid I can't take the credit - I think you must mean Walt's recipe :-)
Well done, I don't think I would have thought of using tinfoil if I didn't have the right dish.
Bacone is certainly my favorite vegetable.
