2 teaspoons Smart Balance light butter spread, divided
3/4 cup onion (halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise)

Steps:

  • Melt remaining teaspoons butter with 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, garlic, and shallot. Sauté 4 minutes. Add wine and simmer until almost all liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes move to 1 side of the pan. In the other side of the pan add Sun Dried Tomato and basil and cook an additional 3 minutes.
  • Lightly brush whole wheat pita with olive and garlic oil. Sprinkle with 1oz Reduced Fat Mozzarella cheese. Scatter onions over cheese. Scatter mushrooms over onions. Scatter Sun dried Tomato and Basil over mushrooms and top with remaining 1 oz Reduced Fat Mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Position Pita in the center of the pizza stone and Bake for 10 minutes or until crust and cheese is a golden brown. Using large spatula, carefully transfer pizzas to cutting board. Let rest 1 minute. Slice into wedges and serve.
