Mediterranean Pizzas
by
Some ingredients were made for each other, and the cuisine of the Mediterranean combines ingredients like olives, cheeses and herbs with ethereal results. My Mediterranean Pizzas offer a wonderful mouthful of flavor in little wedges of crispy pizza.
The pizzas are a snap to make. Tortillas provide a great base for the pizzas, and thinly sliced Roma tomatoes, pitted black Greek olives, crumbled goat cheese and fresh oregano make a flavorful combination for the toppings. Add a drizzle of olive oil and 5 minutes in the oven and you’re guaranteed to be dreaming of a Mediterranean breeze.
The hot oven is the secret to these crisp pizzas, and the toppings can be varied. Feta cheese can substitute for the goat cheese, and fresh basil for the oregano. Caramelized onions are a wonderful addition, and I’ve even prepared a version with strips of Prosciutto and crumbled Gorgonzola.
Makes 8 appetizer servings.
