Heirloom Cherry Tomato Pesto Pizza

August 4, 2015 by rachelle 23 Comments

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.

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
