I'll admit, the name was a bit intimidating at first, conjuring up images of a complicated culinary masterpiece. But the simplicity of the ingredients and the promise of a satisfying meal won me over.

The process itself was surprisingly straightforward. The initial steps involved creating a sort of "crust" using potato noodles, which sounded a little unusual, but it worked beautifully! The noodles cooked down perfectly, creating a surprisingly satisfying base. I’ve never been much of a noodle person myself. I always thought noodles were boring, and didn’t really fit in my diet, until I tried these potato noodles in this pizza skillet. This unique cooking method created a nice, crispy texture. The egg added a delicious richness to the crust, binding it all together without being overly eggy. I loved how quickly it came together and how easy it was to customize. The broccoli added a healthy dose of vegetables, which is something I always try to incorporate into my meals, and the Cajun seasoning really made the whole dish pop with flavor. This combination of flavors is so unique and delicious. I honestly never thought of putting broccoli and potato noodles together, but the mix creates something really surprising.

The best part? The entire process took less than 30 minutes, from start to finish. This is a lifesaver on busy weeknights.

I highly recommend giving this recipe a try. The combination of textures and flavors is simply delicious, and the speed and ease of preparation make it the perfect weeknight meal.

Step-by-step

• Preheat the oven to a high broil.
• Place a large skillet over medium heat, coat with cooking spray and add in your potato noodles, seasoning with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cook, tossing frequently, until the potato noodles cook and are softened.
• Place your cooked noodles into a bowl and add in the eggs. Toss to combine until the eggs coat the noodles.
• Add the coated potato noodles into a 10” cast-iron skillet and place a piece of aluminum foil or wax paper on top. Press down with fingers to compress the noodles.
• Remove the foil/wax paper and place on the stovetop over medium heat. Let cook for about 4 minutes and then flip over. This will be very messy, but once you flip over, make sure to adjust noodles so that the uncooked ones are on the bottom of the skillet. Take your spatula and compress the “pizza crust” by pressing down.
• Once you place your pizza onto the skillet, also place another medium skillet over medium heat and add in the broccoli. Season with pepper and let cook for 5 minutes. Turn off heat when finished. Leave broccoli in the skillet.
• Let cook for another 4 minutes. Then, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, leaving 1” on the perimeter. Add the cooked broccoli evenly on top of the cheese, sprinkle over the cajun seasoning and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
• Place the skillet in the broiler and broil for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted fully. Remove and slice into 4 large slices or 8 small slices. Enjoy!
