Ingredients

Scale

    Puff Pastry:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if frozen

    • Tomatoes:

  • 1 to 2 beefsteak tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • kosher salt and pepper

    • Pesto:

  • 1/3 cup pesto, plus more for drizzling

  • 6 ounces fresh mozzarella, pulled apart into pieces

    • Egg Wash:

  • 1 egg + 1 teaspoon water, beaten together

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and poke it with a fork.
  2. Prepare the tomatoes: Slice the tomatoes, sprinkle with salt, and let sit to release juices. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. Assemble the pizza: Spread pesto on the puff pastry, top with tomatoes and mozzarella.
  4. Brush with egg wash: Brush the edges with egg wash for a shiny crust.
  5. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp.
  6. Finish and serve: Drizzle with more pesto and balsamic glaze, top with basil, mozzarella, and parmesan. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can customize this pizza with additional toppings like olives or sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Make sure to pat the tomatoes dry to prevent a soggy crust.
