Grilled Flatbread Pizza

​My family loves pizza.  I like to load mine up with fresh vegetables, my husband and my son like meat on their pizza and my daughter keeps it simple - cheese only.  Normally, I am strictly opposed to making a different meal for each member of the family.  I make an exception when it comes to pizza though.  We all like to express our creativity and customize our own pizza.  

Tonight's dinner started out with a trip to the supermarket.  I purchased pizza sauce and pesto sauce to make preparations easier.  I also bought a  zucchini, a Roma tomato and a red bell pepper that looked particularly fresh.   I made a quick stop by the bakery to pick up some flat breads.  I also picked up some shredded mozzarella cheese and turkey pepperoni before checking out and heading home with my bag of goodies.

Grilled Flat Bread Pizzas
Veggie Pizza 
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 zucchini, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1 Roma tomato, diced
2 Tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon prepared pesto
2 teaspoons fresh basil, minced
2 flat breads
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Combine zucchini and pepper in a bowl with 1 Tablespoon oil and a pinch of salt.  Toss until coated.  Add to a grill basket and grill until vegetables are tender. 

​Remove from heat and add tomatoes to the vegetables.  Brush each flat bread on one side with 1/2 Tablespoon oil.  Grill breads, oiled side down for 2-3 minutes or until browned on the bottom.

​Combine mayonnaise, pesto and basil.  Flip bread and spread with pesto mixture.

​Top with vegetables and shredded cheese.  Grill, covered until cheese melts.

These flat bread pizzas were really good and they were really easy to make.  I let them get a little too brown on the bottom so I recommend watching them really carefully while they are on the grill - they cook quickly.  (I think I got a little carried away with my photography and I left them on the grill a little too long.)  This recipe is definitely a keeper.

Ciao!
