Hello there friends, before we get started a BIG WARNING TO ALL ITALIANS!!!! I do not want to get in trouble with anyone telling me this isn't a pizza. I used to make this in my restaurant all the time and it was an absolute hit! You can make this as a single-serve pizza and I must say you will love these little pizzas. So, let's get cooking!
Olive Oil Cooking Spray or Extra Virgin Olive Oil applied with a spray or a brush
4teaspoonsParmesan Cheese freshly grated
1tablespoonPesto
1Tomato, cut to your liking
6Kalamata or Nicoise Olives chopped
4large leaves of Basil, cut chiffonade
2extra ounces Parmesan, mozzarella cheese (goat cheese is also great)
Prevent your screen from going dark
Recipe Instructions
Preheat Oven to 450°
For One 8" Pizza (Makes 1 serving)
Cut the sheets of Phyllo using the outside of the pizza screen as a guide. You can cut all the sheets at the same time.
Spray the screen with an olive oil no stick cooking spray. Place the first layer of Phyllo on the screen, spray again lightly and sprinkle on approximately ½ teaspoon of parmesan cheese. Place the second layer on top and repeat the same procedure with the spray and the cheese until you have placed all layers.
Spread a heavy tablespoon of pesto on top, arrange the tomatoes and the basil and sprinkle on the cheese.
Bake in Oven for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
