Spontaneous Moment #29: Fall & Football

As that brisk weather comes in, those gorgeous yellow tomatoes are in full season. I'm sure you see yellow tomato gazpacho on every restaurant menu in town, but I'm going to mix it up.

To me, fall means football. When you watch football, you want to eat greasy food like chicken wings and pizza. So why not opt for a healthier option?

While checking my fantasy football stats (thank you Peyton Manning for all of those points), I decided to make a margarita pizza to munch on while watching Sunday football.

I purchased my fresh ingredients at the local farmer's market (Eastern Market) and cut basil from my herb garden.

Ingredients:
Pillsbury thin crust pizza dough
Grated 2% milk mozarrella cheese
1 yellow tomato
1 red tomato
mushrooms
a few leaves of basil
truffle oil
pepper (to taste)

 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Slice your tomatoes, mushrooms, and basil. Spray the cooking sheet with some Pam and then spread your dough out on a cooking sheet. Put it in the oven for 5 minutes so your dough fluffs up a little bit.

Take out your dough after five minutes and brush on a small amount of truffle oil. Sprinkle with cheese, layer your tomatoes then plop on the mushrooms. Even disburse the basil and sprinkle on some pepper. I like to drizzle a little extra truffle oil on top. Sprinkle a little more cheese on top and put back into the oven for 8-12 minutes.

John and I scarfed down the pizza before the end of the game. I can't wait to make this dish again..and again... and again!
