Pesto & Goat Cheese Pizza

Hi My Loves!!!

Last week I posted this picture on Instagram and a few of you asked for the recipe, so I thought I'd share it with you :)

I actually saw this on Pinterest a while ago and thought I'd give it a go. They put theirs on the grill (I don't like the taste of food on the grill so I chose not to)..... I baked it instead.


Here's what you will need:
Rustic Crust Italian Herb Pizza Crust (here's what it looks like... I got it at Walfart Link!)
3/4 Jar of Classico Traditional Basil Pesto Sauce Link!
1/2 Small Tub of Crumbled Goat Cheese (I can't remember which brand I used)
2 Fresh On The Vine Tomatoes sliced

Directions:
1.) Preheat oven to whatever your pizza crust directions say (I think it was around 400-450)
2.) Unwrap pizza crust and spread your pesto sauce all over crust, leaving the edges bare
3.) Sprinkle goats cheese on top of Pesto (use as much or as little as you like)
4.) Place sliced tomatoes over
5.) Place directly on center oven rack for about 10 minutes (could vary depending on which crust you use, just keep an eye on it) 
WARNING!!!! MAKE SURE YOU PLACE A BAKING TRAY UNDER THE PIZZA ON THE SHELF BELOW! 
The oil from the pesto dripped on the bottom of the oven and started smoking.... setting off all of our smoke alarms. We were wafting the smoke alarms for a good 10 minutes with baby blankets..... At least we know they work :)
6.) EAT IT!!!

There you have it.... a super easy, quick and amazingly yummy dinner. Serve with a nice fresh salad and you have dinner made in less than 20 minutes.

Hope you like it and like always, post a picture on my Facebook Page Link! and let me know how you like it :)
