We don’t often have gammon steaks in the house, but we do all enjoy them, so I thought by adding a pizza topping, it a little more interesting to eat.
Is Gammon Healthy?
Gammon comes from the leg of a pig, and whilst it’s a cured meat making it processed, it’s still healthier to eat a gammon steak rather than a dough based pizza.
Making small changes and choices can make all the difference to lifestyle changes.
Gammon steaks are syn free on Slimming World as long as all the visible fat has been removed.
You can also use a butterfly chicken breast to get the same outcome if you’re not a big fan of gammon.
How To Cook Gammon Pizza
Cooking gammon is very easy and only requires the grill, a pan on the hob, or even the oven. I would recommend the gammon is cooked a little before adding any topping. To cook the perfect gammon steak, place under the grill and cook through on both sides for around five minutes each.
As with any pizza, the toppings are purely down to choice or what you have in the fridge. My gammon pizza was loaded with the following choices.
- tomato puree
- mushrooms
- spring onions
- tomatoes
- peppers
- cheese
Add a generous layer of tomato puree for the base of the pizza, layering your topping choices over the top before sprinkling with cheese.
Brown the cheese off and warm the fresh ingredients through under the grill, or alternatively if you prefer your pizza toppings to me cooked for longer, over cook the gammon pizza for ten minutes at 170C.
Verdict
It was actually very tasty, and there were plenty of calls for “Can we have this again please?” A winning recipe to add to the collection.
If pizza is your go to food that you really can’t resist and are looking for healthier ways to enjoy your tasty treat, then why not give this gammon steak pizza a go.

Sounds lovely, I adore Gammon but Monkey hasn’t been so keen, might have to try this to see if I can persuade him.
Sound like my type of food! Yum yum!
This looks really yummy, great if you’re avoiding carbs but I suspect the cheese would have other diets frowning. I’d definitely like to try this though!
It looks amazing, perfect comfort food in fact!
Wow, what a clever idea. Never seen this before bet it tastes great.
Oh my word! I don’t eat meat but if I did this is what I would eat everyday – Gammon is the only meat I ever liked. Will definitely be doing this for the rest of them though!
Made this some time ago and it was really tasty, I did grill the one side for a couple of minutes and cooked my mushrooms, onions, red peppers etc just to soften them a little. It was delicious. I am about to make it again!
