Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bake the pastry shell for 8 to 10 minutes or until browned.

Meanwhile,in a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with garlic, and basil. Spread over browned pizza crust.

Slice onion and place in the bottom of pastry shell. Slice tomatoes and arrange over onions. Add black pepper to taste.

Spread Mozzarella over onions and top with Parmesan cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

While pizza is baking, make balsamic reduction. Bring vinegar to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until mixture is reduced by half. Drizzle over pizza once cooked.

Once cooked, garnish with fresh herbs.
