Looking for something different for a campfire meal? How about a crispy Cabot Cheddar and veggie pizza cooked over the campfire in a cast iron pan? This is a genius recipe and delicious meal or snack for your camping adventures.

Ingredients

2 ounces Cabot Seriously Sharp Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Rustic Cuts, or your favorite Cabot Cheddar Shreds
1 egg, well beaten
5 or 6 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 or 2 tablespoons red bell pepper, diced
1 or 2 tablespoons red onion, diced
Crushed red pepper, to taste
Dried oregano leaves, to taste
Fresh or dried basil leaves, to taste

Directions

MIX the shredded cheddar and egg in a bowl until well blended.
HEAT a 9” or 10” nonstick pan over medium heat.
PLACE the cheddar and egg mixture in the pan and, using a rubber spatula, gently form the mixture over the bottom of the pan to make a “crust”.
COOK for a few minutes until the edges start to turn a light brown. Use the spatula to lift the edges to prevent sticking and to check the color on the bottom of the crust. When the bottom is nice and golden-brown flip the crust over to the top side.
TURN off the heat and let rest in the pan for a minute or two. Transfer the crust to a plate and, in the process, flip back over so the less browned side is on top.
ADD chopped veggie toppings and herbs to taste. Cut into quarters and serve.
