In Brazil, chefs top their pizzas with green peas, the French love fried eggs on their slices, and in China, a crust made of mini-hot dogs is surprisingly popular! But for this recipe, we’ve kept things simple with a classic flavour combination of cheese, pesto and mushrooms. Pesto can liven up any dish with its earthy, rich and punchy flavour and in this recipe, it works great with the equally earthy flavour of mushrooms pan-fried in garlic. These classic flavours don’t disappoint, trust us!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C. Pop your pizza bases on a large baking tray.

Drain the mozzarella and pull apart into small pieces.

Divide the tomato puree between your pizzas. Use a spoon to spread it out over the bases, leaving a 2cm border.

2

Scatter the mozzarella evenly between your pizza bases.

Spoon small dollops of pesto over the top.

Bake in your oven until the cheese is golden and bubbly, 12-14 mins.

3

Meanwhile, put the balsamic vinegar in a large bowl and add the olive oil (see ingredient list for amount), a pinch of salt and pepper.

Stir together with a fork.

Halve the tomatoes and pop them in the bowl with the dressing, toss to combine, leave to the side.

4

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium high heat. When hot, add the sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Stir fry until the mushrooms are golden brown, 4-5 mins.

Add the garlic, stir and cook for 1 more minute.

Remove the pan from the heat.

5

Once the pizza is cooked, remove from the oven.

Share the garlic mushrooms between the pizzas.

6

Toss the rocket through the bowl with the tomatoes and dressing.

Serve alongside the pizzas (or on top if you prefer!) Enjoy!
