ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1 8 oz mozzarella ball cut into 3/4” thick slices
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/8 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/8 cup + 2 heaping Tbsp Gourmet Garden chopped basil
  • Salt & pepper
  • 2/3 cup your favorite tomato sauce warmed
  • 1/3 cup cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 to 5 slices prosciutto torn into thirds lengthwise
  • 1 tomato cut into 1/2” thick slices

instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a baking sheet or heat up a pizza stone in the oven.
  • On a clean flat surface, roll out pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Cook the dough for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • While the pizza dough is cook, warm tomato sauce in a small saucepan over the stove on low.
  • In a separate small saucepan, reduce balsamic vinegar over medium heat. Once thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, remove from heat and stir in brown sugar and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  • Add flour to one bowl, beat eggs and milk together in a separate bowl, and stir together panko breadcrumbs with 1/8 cup chopped Gourmet Gardens basil in a third bowl.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Dip mozzarella slices in flour, then beaten egg, and finally coat in panko breadcrumbs. Fry the slices in small batches of 2 to 3 slices at a time in the hot oil for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, until brown and crisp on the outside. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Remove the pizza dough from the over and top with warmed tomato sauce. Add a thick layer of the prosciutto on top of the sauce, followed by the sliced tomato.
  • Finally top with the fried mozzarella slices, Gourmet Garden chopped basil and balsamic reduction.
