Recipe Introduction

"This delicious pizza is unique, healthy and easy. The fresh flavors make it a perfect appetizer for any summer bash."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 4 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon salt
â—¦ 2 medium peaches, halved
â—¦ Cooking spray
â—¦ 1 tablespoon cornmeal
â—¦ 1 tube (13 ½ ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
â—¦ 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
â—¦ 6 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
â—¦ â…› teaspoon coarsely ground pepper


Recipe

Sprinkle tomatoes with salt; let stand for 15 minutes. Drain tomatoes on paper towels and pat dry.

Coat grill rack lightly with cooking oil. Grill peaches, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inches from heat until peaches have grill marks and are tender, 2 to 3 minutes on each side, turning once. Remove peaches; cool slightly. Cut into slices.

Coat a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with cooking spray; sprinkle with cornmeal. Unroll crust into pan, pressing into a 12 x 10-inch rectangle. Spritz with cooking spray. Invert dough onto grill. Grill, covered, over medium heat until bottom is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from grill, inverting onto baking pan.

Layer grilled side of pizza with tomatoes, peaches, and cheese. Return pizza to grill. Cook, covered, until crust is lightly browned and cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes, rotating halfway through cooking to ensure an evenly browned crust. Sprinkle pizza with fresh basil and pepper.
