Mini Polenta Pizzas With Tomatoes And Pesto instructions

1. Cut a few slices of polenta (about 1/4 inch slices). Line them on a baking tray and brush each round with a small amount of olive oil..
2. Broil them for a few minutes (till they get a little browned or crispy) and take them out of the oven. Flip the rounds and brush the desired amount of pesto sauce on each round (I use a thin layer). Then add the desired amount of cheese to each round..
3. Slice the grape tomatoes thin and add to the top of the pizza. Sprinkle Italian seasonings on the top of the pizza. You can use dried basil if you don't have Italian seasoning spice..
4. Return the mini pizzas to the oven and broil on high for 10 minutes or until the cheese bubbles and browns..
5. Ready to eat! (If the kids don't gobble them up first).

Pesto and Bacon: Yep, Basil Pesto and Bacon go great together. If you haven't made pesto before, check out my sun-dried tomato pesto recipe and simply omit the tomatoes; Spinach and Tomato: I had a single roma tomato leftover on the counter that I chopped up and combined with some spinach for a vegetarian pizza The polenta should just begin to look very brown and crispy on the edges. The tomatoes will look very juicy (see below). Remove both pans from the oven. Top the polenta with tomato sauce (or pesto) and the cheese.
