Grilled pizza margherita

  • 8

Ingredients

  • 1 (13.8 oz) an refrigerated pizza crust
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 2/3 cup low-fat pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
  • 3 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 cup fresh small basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp. shaved parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray, preheat the grill to medium low or prepare a medium-low fire. Unroll the crust on a sheet of nonstick foil and firmly press into a 9x13 inch rectangle. Brush the crust with the oil. Invert it on the hot grill rack and remove the foil. Grill 5 inches from the heat until the bottom is golden, about 4 minutes.
Flip the crust with tongs and a large spatula or a small cookie sheet. Spread it with the sauce; then top evenly with the mozzarella, tomatoes, and pepper. Cover and grill 2 minutes. Uncover and grill until the mozzarella melts and the bottom is golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and sprinkle with the basil and Parmesan. Cut into 8 wedges.
