1
large plum (Roma) tomato, cut into 10 thin slices
1
tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4
cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1 Heat gas or charcoal grill. In 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring frequently, until crisp. Drain on paper towel; set aside.
  • 2 Spread cheese evenly on pizza crusts. Top with tomato and bacon. Drizzle with oil.

Expert Tips

To bake pizzas, heat oven to 375°F. Place pizzas on cookie sheet. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until toppings are warm. Sprinkle basil over pizzas.

Watch pizzas carefully. Each grill heats and cooks differently. If the lowest setting of your grill seems too hot, move pizzas to a cooler part of the grill. You could also turn off a burner if your grill has more than one burner.

Use a kitchen scissors to easily cut the fresh basil leaves.

    I used Laughing Cow's light garlic & herb spreadable cheese and instead of basil, I topped the pizza with shredded lettuce and a little ranch. I also baked it in the oven at 375 and they turned out great.

    I usually buy pizza dough balls frozen from our local bakery or Great Harvest Bread Co. Thaw them and roll into individual pizzas. Put raw crust on grill until crusty on the bottom. Turn over onto a cookie sheet, top them with the ingredients, and return to the grill. This tastes exactly like the wood fired pizza appetizers you can get from a restaurant.
