Sometimes simple is best.
Meet the Farmer’s Market pizza – more of a concept than a step-by-step recipe, this pizza celebrates simplicity and fresh ingredients. It’s a perfect way to make use of fresh cherry tomatoes, which is what we did using a mix from our haul at the local farmer’s market and our own backyard garden.
The fresh tomatoes and basil are a match made in heaven with the fatty, salty crisp bits of prosciutto. Drizzle with a bit of lemon and olive oil or in an indulgence balsamic glaze for a refined weeknight dinner.
