Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

  • 5 cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons torn fresh basil leaves

  • 4 small fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly into hot skillet; cook until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.

  2. Arrange tomato slices, basil leaves, and fresh mozzarella slices on the melted cheese, leaving space for a "crust" to form; cook until top is bubbling and edges are browned, 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. Remove skillet from heat and loosen pizza with a spatula. Gently slice pizza onto a cutting board; cool for 1 minute before slicing.

Cook's Notes:

The crust is delicate and thin, so don't overload with toppings. But do try with other toppings (pepperoni, ham, pineapple, or BBQ chicken).
