  • Prep Time 10 minutes
  • Total Time 20 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup Basil Pesto (http://www.marthastewart.com/283402/basil-pesto), (two cubes defrosted)
    • 2 precooked store-bought pizza crusts (8 inches)
    • 1 sliced plum tomato
    • 2 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spread basil pesto on each of two pizza crusts.
  2. Layer each crust with plum tomato; sprinkle with grated mozzarella cheese. (Or, layer with just cheese, using 3 ounces thinly sliced fresh mozzarella.) Season with coarse salt and ground pepper.
  3. Transfer to a baking sheet; bake until cheese has melted and crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Slice, and serve immediately.
