Tomato Basil Pizza!

I found this recipe on Pioneer Woman Cooks!

Ingredients:
  1. 3-4 medium tomatoes, this really depends on how many tomatoes you want to put on top
  2. Fresh Mozzarella...the soft kind
  3. Basil Pesto, you can find this on the same aisle as prepared spaghetti sauce
  4. Pillsbury Original Pizza Crust...you can make your own though
Directions:

Preheat Oven: 400 degrees (F)

First, after opening the pesto jar sauce...drain the excess oil on top before stirring the pesto.
Next, place pizza crust on sprayed cookie sheet and spread the full jar of pesto on the crust.
Third, slice the mozzarella into as many slices as possible and then layer slices on top of pesto, you may have a few slices left but that is okay...set them aside until later.
Now for the tomatoes...slice tomatoes just you did with the mozzarella; then layer them on top of the cheese (note: you may use as many or as little tomatoes as you would like, I prefer to fit as many as possible).
Fifth, take the remaining slices of mozzarella and cut them into small chunks and sprinkle on top of entire pizza.

Place in oven and cook for about 14-15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Enjoy!
