Introduction
Easy, simple, delicious and pretty, what more could you want?
How to make
Start by taking the pizza crust from the freezer and placing it on a tray with parchment paper - leave it aside while prepping the rest.
Preheat oven to 400F.
Pat dry mozzarella to avoid extra moisture when baking, then slice it. You want it to be not too thin, not too thick.
Slice cherry tomatoes (tip - use a serrated knife) like the mozzarella.
Now your crust should be not completely thawed, but pliable enough to cut. If not, wait a little longer, then use the large cookie cutter to take the center out.
Use the star-shaped cutter to make 3 little stars from the cutout.
Bake for 10 minutes. You want it to be starting to get golden, but it’s still a little white.
When it comes out, spread a thin layer of pesto on the wreath, then alternate tomatoes and mozzarella placing them in vertical strips along the wreath, leaving space between. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and oregano, then bake for about 7 more minutes. You want the mozzarella to have melted, but not too much. Crust and stars should be golden.
Transfer to a plate and cut between each tomato-mozzarella combination, making strips. Then decorate with the stars and serve.
Enjoy!
P.S.: Left over crust is snack for the cook ;)
