Grilled Tomato, Basil, and Mozzarella Pizza

Time Elapse from Prep to Eating: 30 minutes


What You Need:
Turn on your gas grill on low heat (the lowest it will go) for 5 minutes. In the meantime:

The Stuff:
1 pre-made pizza crust, i.e. Boboli or something similar
1 small can of tomato sauce, or jarred pizza sauce
1 8oz. bag of shredded Mozzarella cheese
½ large tomato, sliced thin
1 clove garlic, minced
6 medium-to-large basil leaves, chiffonade (i.e. cut them width-wise into small strips to like confetti)
Red pepper flakes
Fresh cracked black pepper
Salt
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Here’s What You Do:
1) On the pre-made crust, spoon the tomato or pizza sauce to desired thickness.
2) Evenly sprinkle the minced garlic, a small pinch of red pepper flakes, salt, and cracked pepper all over the sauce.
3) Top with the cheese.
4) Add the tomato slices.
5) Sprinkle the basil strips.
6) Place your finished pizza on the hot grill (low heat) for 10 minutes with the cover down, allowing for the cheese to melt.
7) When finished, remove pizza and drizzle lightly with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
8) Enjoy!

Erik actually preferred the pieces with the tomato slices!!! Pigs must be flying somewhere…
