Bruschetta Pizza Recipes

TOMATO BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the onions, tomatoes, garlic and basil, taking care not to mash or break up the tomatoes too much. Add the balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix again. Cover and chill for at least an hour. This will allow the flavours to soak and blend together.
• Slice the baguette loaf diagonally into 12 thick slices and lightly toast them until they are light brown on both sides. Serve the mixture on the warm slices of bread. If you prefer the mixture at room temperature, remove from the fridge half an hour before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. In a bowl combine diced tomatoes, diced onions, minced garlic and dried basil. Set aside1/2 cup of this mixture. Spread pre baked pizza crust with sun dried tomato pesto. Sprinkle remaining tomato mixture over top of the sun dried pesto -- still reserving the 1/2 cup of this mixture for later use. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden and cheese is bubbling. Remove from oven and top with fresh basil leaves and reserved tomato mixture. Serve on the patio with a nice glass of wine.
• *you can also add green or red peppers, olives and I cooked chicken. I always add the olives and the cooked chicken to mine -- mmmm! I use pre baked boboli pizza crust for this.
