- 1.5 cups mozzarella shredded
- ½ cup red onion thinly sliced
- ½ green pepper thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh chives or coriander finely sliced (for garnish)
Instructions

- Scatter the shredded brisket over the sauce, distributing it evenly across the base.
- Layer the red onion and green pepper over the brisket.
- Cover generously with shredded mozzarella.
- Transfer to the hot pizza stone or a lined baking tray.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling and the crust edges are deep golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with a little extra BBQ sauce, and scatter fresh chives over the top.
- Slice and serve immediately.
