Margherita Pizzette

margherita pizzette

Today I was so busy with my Spring cleaning that when lunch time came around I was really hungry and did not feel like spending a lot of time making something. After spotting the fresh  mozzarella cheese and tomatoes I had in my refrigerator, I decided to make these Margherita pizzette. Pizzette are “miniature pizzas” in Italian. Mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and basil is such a simple combination, but one of my favorites. I bought the whole wheat flat bread at Trader Joes, which makes this recipe so much quicker and easier! You can also make your own crust if you have time time.

What are your favorite pizza toppings?

    Quick and flavorful — what could be better? I love the simplicity of a nice Margherita pizza. It’s either that or a pepperoni for me — just depends on how evil I want to be!
