Easy Tomato-Basil Pizza

Ingredients

2 tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped

1 teaspoon salt

8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

1 red onion, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 fresh jalapeno peppers, chopped (optional)

1/2 cup sliced black olives

1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

1/2 cup pizza sauce

2 (12 inch) pre-baked pizza crusts (or make your own pizza crust easily enough)

8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Mix the tomatoes and salt in a mesh strainer. Let mixture sit and drain for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) & combine the drained tomatoes, 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese, onion, basil, pepper, olive oil, jalapenos, olives, and mushrooms in a bowl. Spread the pizza sauce evenly onto the pizza crusts. Distribute tomato mixture over the two pizza crusts evenly. Sprinkle 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese over both pizzas.


This soup would be great with this on a cold night too ...
