Green Tomato Pizza

Course Entrée

Ingredients

  • 1 purchased pizza crust
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 T. oil
  • 2 med. green tomatoes sliced very thin (about 1/8-inch)
  • Dash ground black pepper
  • Pinch Salt
  • 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese (more, if desired)
  • Optional Add a little bit of bacon or ham for a heartier pizza. Or, sprinkle with a bit of smoked paprika for the smoked flavor.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, gently heat olive oil and garlic until the oil is hot and aromatic. The garlic should not brown, just flavor the oil. Set aside.
  • Prepare the pizza crust according to package directions. Brush the prepared crust generously with the garlic/oil mixture.
  • Arrange the green tomato slices in a slightly overlapping pattern over the crust. Sprinkle lightly with the pepper and salt. If using bacon, ham or paprika, add now. Top with cheese.
  • Bake for amount of time recommended by the pizza crust directions, or until crust is golden brown, tomatoes are heated through and cheese is melted.
