Caprese Pizza
Whole mozzarella, pan roasted tomatoes and sweet basil drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Ingredients
- 1 Pizza Crust
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil Divided
- 2 teaspoons Greek Girls Gourmet All Purpose Greek Seasoning Divided
- 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
- 8 ounces Whole soft mozzarella Avoid mozzarella in water for this recipe.
- 4 leaves Fresh basil
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare and pre-bake preferred pizza crust recipe. (I used a 9"x12" pan that is 1" deep and lined with parchment paper.) Preheat oven to 425°.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a cast iron or other skillet. Over medium-high heat, add the pint of cherry tomatoes. Allow tomatoes to cook undisturbed to develop char and carmelization on the bottom. (About 10 minutes.) Reduce heat as needed to prevent burning.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil on the pre-baked pizza crust. Spread olive oil with fingers to reach the entire surface of the crust. Sprinkle the crust with 1 teaspoon Greek Girls Gourmet All Purpose Greek Seasoning.
- Cut the mozzarella into chunks or slices and distribute evenly around the prepared crust. Then add the roasted tomatoes, also distributing them evenly.
- Roll the basil leaves lengthwise and slice them into small strips. Top the pizza with the strips of basil.
- In a small bowl add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar. Blend quickly and drizzle over the prepared pizza.
- Finally, sprinkle the pizza with 1 teaspoon Greek Girls Gourmet All Purpose Greek Seasoning.
- Bake pizza at 425° for 10-12 minutes, or until toppings are warm and cheese is melted.
