TOMATO CORN PESTO PIZZA
3 plum or Roma tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground or seasoned pepper
1/2 cup basil pesto
1 (14-16 ounce) whole wheat or regular packaged pre-baked pizza crust, or thin crust
2/3 cup fresh corn kernels
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon honey
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons fresh, whole or torn basil leaves (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Slice tomatoes into 1/4 inch slices; place tomato slices on paper towels; sprinkle with the onion powder, and pepper and let sit for 20 minutes. Spread pizza crust with pesto. Stir together corn kernels, Parmesan cheese and honey. Top pizza with corn mixture, tomato slices, and mozzarella cheese. Place pizza directly on the middle oven rack; bake approximately 12-14 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden. Remove from oven and top with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Cut into 8 slices.
