Classic Margherita Pizza

• 1 store bought thin pizza crust
• 1 large fresh garden tomato, diced
  
• 4-5 large basil leaves
  
• 2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
  
• 1/2 c. pizza sauce
  
• 1 c. Fig or Blackberry Balsamic vinegar
  
• Drizzle of Early Harvest Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• a pinch of our Mediterranean-inspired Taste of Tuscany Gourmet Seasoning Blend

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

2. In a small sauce pan, add the balsamic vinegar and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer until vinegar reduces at least by half to a thick, syrupy glaze. NOTE:  I have cut this step out and simply drizzled the balsamic at the end and it's just as delicious!

3. Assemble pizza: crust, sauce, cheese, tomato and freshly torn basil leaves.

4. Bake directly on the oven rack for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Remove from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze on top.

6. Eat while warm {but will reheat great as well!}
