Garden Tomato-Basil Pizza Recipe

Celebrity Tomatoes





Basil grown from seeds I saved last year.




Nothing better than sun-ripened tomatoes!






If you've been to a play date at my house chances are you've had this delicious pizza! It tastes 10 times better when using fresh tomatoes and basil from your garden. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Garden Tomato-Basil Pizza
1 pizza crust (store bought)
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided in half
1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
2/3 cup mayo (i use the kind made with olive oil...a little healthier)
2 tbs. snipped fresh basil (julienne sliced or leave whole)
1 garlic clove, pressed
1-2 tomatoes or 4 plum tomatoes, sliced
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle crust with 1 c. mozzarella; set aside. Mix remaining mozzarella cheese, mayo, basil, and garlic. Arrange sliced tomatoes on pizza. Scoop cheese mixture evenly over tomatoes; spread evenly. Bake 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown
