Need something to go with the Sangria recipe found here???
Last summer I did really well growing Basil and Tomatoes…. This year, my tomato bush turned brown because it got some airborne disease according to my very knowledgeable friend who’s last name is the same as a local farm in my area… 🙂
I am still not sure what happened to my Basil… It was terrible this year. Luckily I got some awesome basil from a friend and my local farm has the best tomatoes. THUS, I could make one of my favorite treats… Basil Pizza…
2 C. (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 oz. (1/4 C.) Parmesan cheese, grated
2 T. fresh basil leaves, snipped, OR
2 tsp. dried basil leaves
2/3 C. mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, pressed
4 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Using lightly floured pizza roller
Grate Parmesan cheese. Using kitchen shears
In 1-quart bowl
Place mozzarella cheese mixture over dough spread to cover evenly. slice tomatoes; arrange in single layer over crust. Sprinkle fresh basil. Sprinkle crust with one cup of the mozzarella cheese.
. Serve with miniature serving spatula
I am sure she does. If not, my neighbor has a ton I can get for you. Hope you like it! Just posted the salad recipe too!!!
Thanks for posting this, Colleen! I've been craving it and it will be so good for dinner one night this week…does your friend have any more extra basil???
very smart friends!
You have some pretty smart friends! I couldn't wait for this recipe so I cheated and bought the Italian herd Philly cream cheese. It tasted better than the garlic one. Thanks for sharing@
