Tomato and Brie Pizza
Simple cheese and tomato pizza gets a flavorful upgrade with brie cheese, garlic olive oil and juicy heirloom cherry tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 Prepared Pizza Dough
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 3-4 Cloves of Garlic, minced
- 8-10 oz. Brie Cheese, sliced
- 1 cup Quartered Cherry or Grape Tomatoes
- Fresh Rosemary, minced (or oregano, thyme, or basil), for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees with a pizza stone or steel. For the garlic olive oil, just mince or press a few cloves of garlic into about 1/4 cup of olive oil.
Roll spin or stretch the dough to about 12-inches round. Lay the dough on a floured pizza peel. Brush the entire dough with the garlic olive oil.
Lay the long slices of brie cheese on the dough. Any arrangement is fine, just look for even coverage. Leave a 1/2-inch or so of dough around the edge for a crust.
Now add the quartered cherry or grape tomatoes. Scatter the tomatoes evenly over the brie.
Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes, until the crust is puffed and golden and the brie is melted and beginning to brown in some spots.
When the pizza comes out of the oven, mince up a little fresh herb, I am using rosemary, but thyme, basil, oregano or parsley would all be good options. Sprinkle the minced herb on top, slice and enjoy!
