• Ingredient Info:.
• Italian plum tomatoes, also called Roma tomatoes, are small oval fruits prized for their low moisture and high flavor. These characteristics make them perfect for canning, sauce and toppings; other tomatoes can make pizza and bruschetta soggy.
• Ingredient Substitutions:.
• To boost Italian flavor, use fresh garlic on the chicken breasts; mince 1 or 2 cloves and rub into poultry.
• Another Italian grating cheese can be used in place of the Parmesan; try Asiago or Romano.

BRUSCHETTA PIZZA

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.
