Smashed Pizza Croissants

Make the courgette ribbon salad

• With a peeler, peel the courgette into long thin ribbons then add them to a bowl. Zest and juice the lemon.
• Add the zest to the courgette ribbons, then season with salt and pepper. Stir in a generous dash of your preferred oil and add lemon juice to taste, mixing well. Set aside until you’re ready to eat.

Make the garlic butter

• Melt the butter in a small pan, and when foaming stir in the garlic granules then take the pan off the heat.

Cook the pizza croissants

• Slice each croissant in half. Spread each cut side with some passata. Scatter over some mozzarella on the bottom half, then 2 - 3 pepperoni slices and a sprinkle of dried oregano.
• Pop the other half of the croissant on top and brush the top generously with the garlic butter.
• Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan on a medium heat. Depending on the size of your pan you may need to work in batches.
• Add the croissant to the pan, garlic butter-side down, and smash it down with a spatula. Leave it to cook for 3 - 4 minutes.
• Brush the other side with garlic butter then flip it over and cook for another 3 - 4 minutes.

Finish the croissants

• Preheat the grill to high.
• Brush the top of the croissant with a little more garlic butter then scatter over some mozzarella and 3 slices of pepperoni. Pop under the grill for a few minutes, until the cheese has melted.

Plate Up

• Plate up the pizza croissants with the courgette ribbon salad. Enjoy!
