Blue Cheese Appetizer Pizza

.....yay carnival of the recipes!

This is a great recipe to serve when you have vegetarian guests -- though I have noticed that carnivores enjoy it just as much! Enjoy!

BLUE CHEESE APPETIZER PIZZA

1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed
(I use Rhodes pizza dough or french bread dough)
3 T olive/canola oil, divided
2 t dried basil (I use less basil. It is quite overpowering. Use to your taste.)
2 t dried oregano
1 t garlic powder
1 small red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 cup (4 oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
3 ounces crumbled blue cheese
2 T grated Parmesan cheese

Divide bread dough in half. Press each portion onto the bottom of a 12-in. pizza pan coated with nonstick cooking spray; build up edges slightly. (I roll out the dough -- it goes faster.) Prick dough several times with a fork. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. (If I use the pizza dough, I don't let it rise.)

Brush dough with oil. Combine the basil, oregano and garlic powder; sprinkle over dough. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes. Arrange onion and tomatoes over crusts; sprinkle with cheeses. Bake 8-10 minutes longer or until gold brown. Yield: 2 pizzas (10 slices each).

Yummy!
