Mini Pizzas
Description
Mini Pizzas combine simple ingredients like refrigerated pizza crust, shredded mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese with a fresh topping of chopped cherry tomatoes, basil, garlic, and olive oil. The dough is rolled out and cut into small circles before being topped and baked. Baking at a high temperature crisp the crust edges while melting the cheese to a lightly golden finish. The garlic salt and black pepper season the tomato topping, adding depth to the fresh flavor.
The bite-sized pizzas work well as appetizers, snacks, or party food. Their small size makes them convenient and shareable, and the fresh topping brings brightness to the rich cheese and baked crust. They can be enjoyed warm from the oven to retain the crisp texture of the crust and melted cheese.
Leftover mini pizzas can be refrigerated for 3-4 days and reheated in a toaster oven or microwave. For longer storage, freeze cooled pizzas in a single layer for up to 2 months and reheat thoroughly before serving. This makes it easy to prepare several ahead of time.
