Tomato & Ricotta Pizza

This idea came to me as I was standing in the refrigerated foods section at SuperTarget staring at an Archer Farms whole wheat pizza crust that was on sale.  See, I don’t usually buy pizza crusts, because they are so easy to make.  However, I decided to get this one anyway hoping it would taste half decent and make for a good veggie pizza.

Tomato & Ricotta Pizza {my recipe}

Ingredients:

• 1 whole wheat pizza crust {I used Archer Farms}
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup grape tomatoes
• 1 avocado
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper
• 3 pieces turkey bacon
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Set the oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a medium skillet, cook the three pieces of turkey bacon.
3. Peel and chop the avocado.  Cut the grape tomatoes in half, and cut the yellow bell pepper into small pieces.
4. Spread the ricotta cheese across the pizza crust as evenly as possible.
5. Place the vegetables on the pizza. Once the bacon is done, cut it into small pieces & place on the pizza.
6. Top the pizza with shredded mozzarella & cheddar cheeses.
7. Cook for approximately 15 minutes or until the mozzarella is melted completely.

Grade: A

Comments: This turned out really well!  The crust was just okay {homemade = way better}, but I would buy it again to save myself some time.  All of the toppings went great together, and it was the perfect summer pizza.  You could easily add tons of vegetables to this to suit your personal tastes.  Asparagus or olives would be great additions!
