I have four gardens, one of which is solely for herbs, so I always have a wide variety of produce. I made this loaded pizza as a summertime appetizer using my finest garden produce.
3 teaspoons olive oil 3 minced cloves of garlic 3 medium tomatoes sliced 1/2 inch thick 1 large delicious red pepper, halved, stemmed and seeded
1 small zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch-thick segments along its length 1 small onion, cut into 1/2-inch crosswise segments 1 teaspoon pepper coarsely powdered
1 prebaked 12-inch pizza pastry 1/3 cup of garden vegetable cream cheese spread 8 slices smoked provolone cheese, divided
1/2 cup fresh minced basil, divided 1/4 cup carrots, minced 1 teaspoonful fresh minced oregano 1 teaspoon fresh minced thyme
1. Brush vegetables with garlic-oil mixture. Pepper it. Grill, covered, over medium heat until tender, 4-5 minutes per side for pepper and onion, 3-4 minutes for zucchini, and 2-3 minutes for tomatoes.
2. Chop pepper, onion, and zucchini coarsely. Cream cheese, 4 provolone, and tomato slices on pizza crust. Sprinkle 1/4 cup basil, carrots, oregano, and thyme. Grilled vegetables and 4 more cheese go on top.
3. 5-7 minutes, covered, over medium heat, until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese is dissolved. Finish with the remaining rosemary.
