Heirloom Cherry Tomato Pesto Pizza

Hey y’all!  I’ve been so dang busy and I’ve missed you!  I also know that I haven’t posted a pizza in at least 4 days and 12.6 hours, so I thought it was time.

Not to mention – why do people say that?  I’m totally mentioning the fact that I am a lunatic crazy woman at the farmer’s market and had about a bazzillion heirloom cherry tomatoes, 47 ears of corn, 6 bushels of basil, and 23 pounds of pesto that needed to be consumed.

And corn, man.  Seriously, Jennifer?  Getting me hooked on this pizza corn business? Sooooo not cool. Next time keep your dirty little secrets to yourself, k?

So I covered up the dirty little corn secret with some more pesto.  I wish I could forget.  But I can’t.  Corn. On. Pizza. Yesssssss!  It’s so good.  Do it!

Sorry for the peer pressure.  I’ve been corrupted.

Blame Jennifer.  I’m glad we had this little talk.

Heirloom Cherry Pesto Pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough ball
  • 1/4 cup plus 2-3 tablespoons prepared pesto divided
  • 1 pint heirloom cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 8 ounce ball fresh mozzarella
  • 4 ounces goat cheese
  • 1 ear of fresh corn on the cob kernels removed
  • 6-8 large basil leaves rolled and sliced into ribbons

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425
  2. Stretch dough over a pizza stone or baking sheet
  3. Spread pesto over the dough
  4. Add tomatoes, top with mozzarella, goat cheese, and corn
  5. Drizzle remaining pesto over the top of pizza
  6. Bake 15-17 minutes until crust is crispy and cheese is melted
  7. Top with basil ribbons

Note: I used a store bought pizza dough and I didn’t love it, so use your favorite pizza dough recipe or store bought.

Note: I don’t have a go to pesto recipe – I just throw everything in the food processor and keep adding and tasting until it’s right to me

Note: Pesto can be overwhelming, so you can use as much or as little you want

    I am SO jealous of all those tomatoes. It’s really difficult to get those kinds of tomatoes here in the UK.
    Tomatoes and pesto are just perfect together.

    This pizza rocks! I have had corn on pizza in a restaurant, but not at home. The corn has been so yummy this summer I find myself purchasing only to wonder what I’m going to do with it once I get home. Now I will actually have a plant. Thanks for sharing!!!
