Mozzarella & Tomato Pizza

One of my most cherished memories and the only after school activity I had in high school and looked forward to almost every day was stopping at the corner pizzeria for a hot slice of $1.25 NY cheesy pizza served on a white flimsy paper plate that oozed with oil, which would inevitably run down my arm as I ate it on my way home. It was truly heaven in my mouth! Recently, to satiate that sudden craving, I decided to make my own simple tasty version at home. It’s one of those quick fool-proof no-fuss recipes that is perfect to make and serve on those casual nights when someone wants to stop by or just when having a few girlfriends over.

Ingredients {makes 20 small size slices}

2 Whole grain flat bread

1lb. fresh mozzarella cheese log, sliced

Homemade tomato sauce (or one 25oz. jar of store bought tomato sauce)

Handful of fresh basil

2 tomatoes sliced

2 tbsp. olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 450

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over flat bread.

Arrange the tomatoes, mozzarella and basil evenly over the tomato sauce.

Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Bake until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown, 15 minutes.

Cut into individual pieces and serve.
