Bell Pepper & Sun-Dried Tomato Pizza 🍕
Cook Time: 21 minutes
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 41 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 green bell peppers, sliced
- 2 yellow bell peppers, sliced
- 2 shallots, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup medium cheddar cheese
- 1 prepared pizza crust
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure it’s nice and hot for baking the pizza.
-
Prepare Crust: Brush the pizza crust evenly with olive oil, ensuring it’s well coated.
-
Saute Pepper Mixture: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced green and yellow bell peppers, minced shallots, and garlic cloves. Sautee the mixture for about 5 minutes until the peppers are tender and fragrant.
-
Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and continue sautéing for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Assemble Pizza: Spread the sautéed pepper mixture evenly over the prepared pizza crust, creating a colorful and flavorful base.
-
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses generously over the pepper mixture, ensuring each bite is loaded with cheesy goodness.
-
Bake: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted to perfection.
-
For Barbecue: If you prefer a barbecue method, preheat your grill for about 10 minutes on medium-high heat. Lightly grease a baking sheet and place it on the grill. Close the lid and cook the pizza for 10-15 minutes, or until the bottom is crisp and the cheese is ooey-gooey.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven or grill and let it cool for a minute or two. Slice it into wedges and serve hot, savoring each bite of the flavorful bell pepper and sun-dried tomato goodness!
