Do you think that this can be microwaved instead of baked?

Do you think I could add pepperoni and ham to it? Can we eliminate the greeen peppers and green onions? (my daughter doesn't like them and she's having a kid's in the kitchen show tomorrow)
 
I change up the toppings in this dip all the time - that way I can customize it to whatever my host likes. Anything you like on pizza can be used. :) And I don't see why it couldn't be microwaved instead of baked.
