Instructions
- Set the grill/broiler to medium heat.
- Place small handfuls of the mozzarella on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Leave space around the edges so the cheese can spread. Grill in the oven until the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven once the tops are browned.
- Let the mozzarella pizza bases cool on the tray so they can firm up.
- In a pan, brown the diced salami/ham.
- Add a teaspoon of marinara on every pizza and decorate with salami and ham pieces.
- Scatter over the basil leaves and serve.
