Pesto Pizza

[Guest guest]

I made this to entertain non vegetarian friends (some

flexitarian/some not) this past weekend and it was a

big hit!

 

PESTO PIZZA

 

1 square/rectangular of good quality crusty flat loaf

bread (I use pain rustique), sliced in half to make

two thinner pieces

1 recipe pesto sauce (see below)

2 tomatoes, sliced

3 portabella mushrooms, sliced

 

I've seen some good pesto recipes posted here in the

past, here is a good one too:

2 1/2 cups firmly packed fresh basil leaves

2-4 large garlic cloves, chopped/pressed

1/2 cup pine nuts

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

(recipe calls for 1/2 cup Parmesan which I omitted)

 

Blend together all ingredients until smooth. Heat

oven to 350 degrees. Spread pesto evenly on cut side

of bread. Top with sliced tomatoes and portabella

mushrooms. Sprinkle with ground pepper. Place pizzas

directly on oven rack, bake at 350 until bread becomes

lightly browned around the edges. Then broil on low

until the top is cooked a bit but be careful not to

burn bread. Slice into squares, serve.
