Default No Dough Pizza easy recipe - For WLS cheese lovers only - 5-minute meal

I was looking at my string cheese last night thinking there was no way I could eat it, and nothing else looked good, so I tried a few things out...

No Dough Pizza

Two one-ounce, low-fat, mozzarella string cheese thingies
A little cooking spray
Italian spices (garlic, onion, etc.) I use a concoction called "scampi blend" from Wildtree Herbs which is awesome - and no, I don't sell them, but here's their website: http://www.wildtreeherbs.com.

Use a small, non-stick frying pan (and the non-stick part is important). Spray a tiny bit of your favorite cooking spray in the bottom, and put it on at Medium High heat - 7.5 on my electric stove. Sprinkle your Italian herbs and spices onto the cooking spray.

Pull the string cheese into the smallest strings you can accomplish, and just when the cooking spray begins to turn brown, put them into the pan a few at a time to make a layer... they'll melt and run together. Once the cheese is all bubbly, flip your cheese pancake once. Let it brown on the other side and then slide it onto a plate.

Two choices - let it cool, roll it up and eat it like a burrito (don't forget to chew, chew, chew!) or eat it while it's warm and messy and yummy. You could also add any kind of pizza meat that you can tolerate, mushrooms, whatever turns you on - scramble it around in the spices and cooking spray before putting your cheese in the frying pan.

Made the way it is shown: 140 calories, 16 grams of protein (if you use Precious Mozzarella low-fat cheese sticks).
