  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Unroll one pizza crust onto a greased baking sheet; shape into a 14-inch x 11-inch rectangle. Spread the broccoli-cheese mixture lengthwise on half of the dough to within 1-inch of the edges. Fold dough over filing; press edges firmly to seal. Repeat with remaining crust and filling ingredients.
