I developed this prosciutto pesto pizza for my young grandson who hasn't acquired a taste for veggies yet. He scarfs it up and doesn't even notice the edamame. It's also a hit with my other grandkids and nieces-not to mention all of their parents! -Don Manzagol, Campbell, California

PROSCIUTTO PESTO PIZZA

This is an original recipe that combines many of my favorite flavors. The saltiness from the proscuitto and pesto combined with the sweet sundried tomatoes is a little party in your mouth with each bite. Hubby asks for this once a week...and it never gets old. Leftovers are great too...if you have any!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh pesto. You can make your own or buy it from the store.
  • If you don't have prosciutto, you can substitute another type of cured meat, such as salami or pepperoni.
  • Use a high-quality cheese that melts well. Mozzarella is a classic choice, but you could also use cheddar, Parmesan, or a blend of cheeses.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza. Too many toppings will make it soggy.
  • Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
