Today's pizza is like a hot Ham and Cheese sandwich. With a fresh, herby, dressed tomato and onion salad topping the finished pizza.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz. Cherry or Grape Tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/4-1/2 Sweet Onion, sliced thin
  • 2 tsp. Minced Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp. Sherry Vinegar (or red or white wine vinegar)
  • Pinch of Kosher Salt
  • Pinch of Black Pepper
  • 1 Prepared Pizza Dough
  • Olive Oil (for drizzling on pizza dough)
  • 1.5 cups Grated Gruyere Cheese
  • 8-12 oz. Sliced Deli Ham

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven with a pizza steel or stone to 450 degrees F.

2

Combine the quartered tomatoes, onion slices and minced herbs in a medium bowl. Add the olive oil and vinegar. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss to combine and set aside.

3

Roll, spin, or stretch your dough out to about 12-inches round. Brush with dough with olive oil.

4

Use roughly 2/3 of the cheese for the first layer.

5

Fold each slice of deli ham into thirds and lay the folded ham slices evenly over the cheese.

6

Top the whole pizza with the remaining cheese.

7

Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes, until the crust is puffed and golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Transfer the baked pizza to a cutting board.

8

Give the tomato and onion salad another toss. Then use a slotted spoon or tongs to top the baked pizza with the tomato and onion salad.
