MEDITERRANEAN GOAT CHEESE PIZZA



Mediterranean Goat Cheese Pizza image

This is my version of a fabulous pizza I had at the Flatbread Pizza Company. It's one of my absolute favorites and I even make it on the grill when it gets too hot to turn on the oven in the summertime. It also makes a great appetizer if sliced into small pieces. Using the combination of the non stick foil and the oven rack ensures a crispy crust that wont get stuck to the pan.

MEDITERRANEAN PIZZA



Mediterranean Pizza image

This is a bit different than your traditional pizza but it is super tasty. I always add a tin of anchovy fillets apprz 8 filets to the tin) but that's up to you - It does make you thirsty!!! If you want the best thin crust ready made get a "Boboli "- fantastic. Use the oil from the anchovies (if using) to saute the onions & green peppers. You may also use sundried tomatoes in oil just drain well (I like these). Enjoy

If you are using a Boboli or other baked ready crust it is ready to build your pizza. When your crust is ready evenly distribute the Sundried tomatoes on the shell , then the sauted onions green pepper , add capers. olives and top with the crumbled feta, If using anchovies (I recommend you do) place them so you have an anchovy per slice.
