DIY: Home-made Ham & Cheese Mini-Pizza

My 3-year-old kiddo loves pizza! Whenever I can't force her to eat rice, I'd make her a home-made ham & cheese mini-pizza. After all, my mini-pizza has carbs (the crust!), calcium (loaded with cheese which she loves!), and protein (the ham). I also let her help me prepare her mini-pizza so she can have fun too!


You don't need an oven nor elaborate ingredients to make this pizza. Even those living in a small condo unit with only an electric bread / oven toaster can make this wonderful snack for your little ones.

What you need: 

• Frozen mini-pizza crust (You can buy this at the frozen section of most supermarkets for less than P50)
• Cheese and cheese grater 
• Small ready-to-use pizza sauce (in any flavour you like) 
• Breakfast ham (cut into small squares)
• Small onion (red or white, your preference), diced
• Sliced mushroom in can

How to prepare:
1. Pre-heat your oven. Spread ready-to-use pizza sauce in each of the mini-pizza crust 

2. Top with ham, sliced mushroom, and diced onions as much as you or your kiddo wishes

3.  Finish off with grated cheese on top (again, amount depends on your liking)

4. Line the mini-pizzas in a baking pan

5.  Depending on your oven (or oven toaster), bake for 7-10 minutes. I baked this in an oven toaster for 7 minutes in medium heat setting.

6. Serve while still hot but make sure it's not too hot for your kiddo!

The finished product

Don't worry if you weren't able to consume all the ingredients. You can store the left over ingredients -- sliced mushroom (remove from can and store in an air tight container), breakfast ham, cheese, pizza sauce (remove from foil and store in an air tight container too), even the excess mini-pizza crust in the fridge so you can easily make your home-made ham & cheese mini pizza anytime your little one asks for some!
