Yield 2 pizzas, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup prepared pesto sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
12 ounces fresh mozzarella balls, thick sliced
1/4 cup sliced black olives
2 large thick slices sourdough bread
extra-virgin olive oil
ground black pepper, to taste
2 medium tomatoes, thickly sliced
2 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat a grill to high (note if your grill gets super hot, you might want to do this on med-high).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the pesto and tomato paste.
  • Drizzle both slices of the bread on both sides with olive oil. Grill the bread until it is lightly toasted on the bottom.
  • Remove the bread from the grill. Spread half of the pesto mixture over the toasted side of each slice of bread.
  • Top the pesto with tomato slices, then mozzarella slices and black olives. Season with pepper, then return to the grill.
  • Cover, reduce heat to low, and grill until the bottoms are toasted and the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with basil.
