These little pizzas are so good that come in at #8. The recipe orginally called for only a pesto sauce on the dough but I decided to make it more like a real pizza. I spread some pasta/tomatoe sauce on the dough and then topped with a tomatoe and mozarella cheese. The pesto was suprisngly good. The variations for these could be endless.
"Mini Pizzas"
1 can refrigerated classic pizza crust or 1 can refrigerated thin pizza crust
1/3 cup basil pesto
20 slices plum (Roma) tomatoes
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
DIRECTIONS:
If using classic crust: Heat oven to 425°F. If using thin crust: Heat oven to 400°F.
Spray or grease cookie sheet. Unroll dough on work surface. Press dough into 12x8-inch rectangle. With round cutter, cut dough into 20 rounds; place rounds 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Spread each with pesto. Top each with 1 tomato slice. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake classic crust 10 to 12 minutes, thin crust 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Your pizzas look great, and those cookies look so good and easy!
They both look fantastic, I'm definitely going to have to try the pizzas. I love bite sized appetizers like that, especially when you can try different things!
YUM YUM!!! Both look great!
I recently had to make 360 cookies and didn't want to spend a fortune on ingredients, so I used this recipe. It's great! :)
My girls have been asking for pizza and I know they would love these mini pizzas. The cookies are decadent, I just gained 5 lbs. looking at the pictures!
I am loving the 3 ingredient cookies they looks so easy to whip up!
I've made the mini pizzas with my 2 daughters - we use Grands Biscuits that we flatten...sooooo good! The pesto ones are amazingly good, I've taken them to potlucks and even the pickiest eaters snatch them up! :-)
Your mini pizzas look like such a great appetizer! And I can't believe how easy those cookies are!
We've heard of these cookies and always wondered 'How can it be?' :) How can you go wrong with pb and sugar? Especially when a bit of chocolate is nestled on top. Totally tasty!
these look really good. I always love making English muffin pizzas in the toaster oven. I'll have to try them with pesto now.
