TOMATO-BASIL SQUARES

Another Pampered Chef fave! Nothing quite compares to the sweet taste of ripe tomatoes and fresh basil atop creamy mozzarella and fresh Parmesan cheeses. It's a simple appetizer that gets rave reviews.

1 package (10 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 ounce (1/4 cup) fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, snipped, or 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, pressed
4 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 375°F. Rollout pizza crust on cookie sheet to within 1 inch of edge. Sprinkle crust with 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese; set aside. Grate Parmesan cheese. Chop basil. Combine the remaining 1 cup
mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil and mayonnaise; mix well. Using Garlic Press, press garlic
over cheese mixture; mix well. Thinly slice tomatoes; arrange in single layer over mozzarella cheese on crust. Dollop mozzarella cheese mixture over tomatoes; spread to cover evenly. Bake 15-20 minutes or until top is golden brown and bubbly. Serve warm. Cut with Pizza Cutter.
