Ingredients
  

For the bruschetta

  • 12 oz. cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped about 10 large leaves
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced the best garlic chopper
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt or sea salt, to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper

For the pizza

  • 1 thin, store-bought pizza crust See Note 1
  • 3-4 tbsp prepared basil pesto try this quick homemade Basil Arugula Pesto!
  • 8 oz. mozzarella pearls you can also use fresh mozzarella cut into small pieces
  • 1 tbsp balsamic glaze, plus more to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prep: Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Make the Bruschetta: In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, basil, garlic, and olive oil. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Prepare Pizza: Roll out the prepared pizza crust (if necessary). Spread pesto in a thin, even layer over the crust. Dot the pizza with mozzarella pearls.
  • Bake: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or according to instructions on the pizza crust package. The pizza is ready when the crust is starting to turn golden brown, and the cheese is hot and bubbly!
    Note: If you are using fresh pizza dough, you can bake the pizza on a baking sheet or use a pizza stone. If you are using a Boboli-type crust or flatbread, you can place the pizza directly onto the oven rack.
  • Finish: Top the hot pizza with the tomato mixture, and drizzle with lots of balsamic glaze. Cut into wedges and serve!

Notes

Note 1: You can use ready made store-bought pizza dough or you can use a premade crust such as these from Boboli.  Naan bread or flatbread also works well!
