Tomato Basil Pizza Recipe

Fairfield is home to the Tomato Festival so in honor of the recent food fest, below is a yummy pizza recipe using fresh tomatoes.

Ingredients
  • 1 (10-ounce) Italian cheese-flavored thin pizza crust (such as Boboli)
  • 1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 pound plum tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Preparation
  • Preheat oven to 450°.
  • Place pizza crust on a baking sheet; sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Arrange tomato slices over cheese; sprinkle with basil. Sprinkle with seasoning; drizzle with vinegar. Top with 3/4 cup cheese.
  • Bake at 450° for 10 minutes or until cheese melts. Cut into 8 wedges.

Serves 4.

  1. Thanks for sharing this recipe it's definitely a really good reward for my brother who got his TABC Certification Online last week. But still work on the dough first. I'm not really the cook-type but I'd like to do something special for him.
