1small Meyer lemonsliced thin and cut into quarters
Pinchor two crushed red pepper flakes
Pinchkosher salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil and garlic.
Drizzle a little olive oil onto a baking sheet and spread it around. Pat and stretch the dough into a 10-inch round and place on the baking sheet.
Brush some of the garlic and olive oil mixture onto the crust.
Evenly lay the onion slices over the top.
Scatter the cheese over the onions.
Place the broccoli in a medium bowl and drizzle the remaining olive oil mixture over the top. Toss well until the broccoli pieces are coated with the oil.
Spread the broccoli evenly over the pizza. Top with the lemons. Sprinkle with the crushed red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt.
Bake for 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is melted and the broccoli is tender with a few brown bits here and there.
