Ingredients

  • 1/2 (10-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 garlic clove, halved
  • 3 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced (about 3/4 pound)
  • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) shredded fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
  • 1/16 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.

  2. Unroll crust dough onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; pat into a 13 × 11-inch rectangle. Bake at 400° for 8 minutes. Remove crust from oven, and brush with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Rub crust with cut sides of garlic.

  3. Arrange tomato slices on crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border; sprinkle evenly with cheese. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until cheese melts and crust is golden.
