March Madness Munchies!

Happy Sunday, everyone! Since it's NCAA Tournament time, and my Xavier Musketeers have made it into the second round, our Sunday Supper today will probably be more like Sunday Snacks in front of the TV! I thought I'd share one of my favorite appetizers, perfect for parties or game time! It a recipe from The Pampered Chef.

Tomato-Basil Squares

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

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Roll pizza crust onto 12 x 15" baking stone (or pan). Sprinkle crust with 1 cup mozzarella cheese. In a 1-qt. bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, basil, and remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Press garlic over cheese mixture and mix well. Thinly slice tomatoes and arrange in a single layer over top of mozzarella cheese. Top tomatoes with cheese mixture and spread evenly. Bake 15-20 minutes or until top is golden and bubbly. Serve warm.

Makes 20 servings

Have a great day everyone! GO MUSKIES!! :)
