BOCCONCINI
PESTO FLATBREAD
2 8" pizza shells (used here: white
rice pizza crust**)
3 tbsp Scarpone's Basil Pesto
3 tbsp hummus
8 large balls of Bocconcini Mozzarella, sliced into 1/4" rounds
20 organic grape cherries, sliced in half lengthwise
Small jar artichoke hearts, break into pieces
Handful fresh organic basil, torn by hand
Handful fresh organic oregano, torn by hand
1 cup L' Ancetre Organic Parmesan, thinly shaved
Favourite spice (use here: Epicure Focaccia)
Carlina's Cucina Chili olive oil
Preheat oven to 4500. Place pizza shells on baking pan. Lightly
spread pesto and hummus on shells. Don't over do it as these spreads
have powerful flavours. Lightly sprinkle with spice.
Layer in order over shells: Bocconcini Mozzarella, tomatoes,
artichoke, basil, oregano and Parmesan. Sprinkle more spice on top.
Bake in oven until Bocconcini starts to melt - approx 20 min. Grill
on low heat for about 3 min or until crust starts to brown. Don't
over grill as fresh basil and oregano will burn. Serve with side
salad or by itself. Drizzle with chili infused olive oil...this is
the flavour enhancer, enjoy! Serves 4.
