Mini-Pizzas For The Young Guests Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

4 oz Canadian bacon, cut 1/4" dice
4 pita breads - (6" dia)
3 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced,
and separated into rings
1 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp crushed dried basil
1/4 tsp dried red pepper flakes
Olive oil cooking spray, as needed

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat the broiler.

Sauté the bacon in a nonstick skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Split the pitas by using a serrated knife to cut all the way around the perimeter of each pita bread. Arrange on a large baking sheet, cut-side up, and toast under a broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until just barely colored.

Divide tomato and onion between the pita rounds and sprinkle with the bacon.

In a small bowl, combine the cheese, basil, and pepper flakes. Sprinkle evenly over the rounds and broil for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese is melted and lightly browned around the edges.

Cut each pizza round into quarters and arrange on a napkin-lined platter.

This recipe yields 8 pizzas.
