Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) olive oil
- 1 clove Ontario Garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh Ontario Basil
- Pinch each salt, pepper and cayenne pepper (approx)
- 1 12-inch (30 cm) purchased pizza crust
- 1 cup (250 mL) shredded sharp cheese (Asiago, aged Cheddar or mixture of Italian cheeses)
- 2 large ripe Ontario Field Tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) shaved Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) each chopped fresh Ontario Basil, Parsley and Chives
Instructions
In small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, and basil. Stir in salt, pepper and cayenne. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to blend flavours.
Brush pizza crust with some of the oil mixture. Grill over high heat, oiled-side-down, until nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Reduce barbecue setting to medium heat. Brush grilled side lightly with more of the oil mixture. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly on crust. Arrange tomato slices on cheese. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Top with remaining shredded cheese and Parmesan.
Carefully place pizza on grill; close lid and grill just until cheese melts and bottom of crust is light brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with basil, parsley and chives; drizzle with remaining oil. Cut into slices.
