Bacon Tomato Caesar Pizza

It's been a few weeks since I've posted anything....was a tad under the weather with no appetite or urge to cook.  Sooooo not like me.  However, the urges are back.  Phew!
While cruising around Pinterest the other day I spotted a pizza that made me drool....  Must. Make. This. Pizza.  I found it on a blog, Bev Cooks and she calls it BLT Pizza.  I've adapted my version of her version.  I've never blogged about another blogged recipe (does that make any sense?) but I felt the need to share this.  It's super easy and really tasty.  I have however, changed up a few things...didn't make my own dough due the fact we needed to eat within the hour so I used  super thin Naan pizza crusts, I added extra garlic and instead of romaine, I added fresh Basil leaves.  Wicked tasty, warm, creamy and garlicky with pops of freshness from the tomatoes and Basil.  Undeniably nummy.
Similar to my Warm Potato Caesar Salad, you can use either homemade or store bought.  I opted for store bought out of ease and I used Renee's, which is my go to when I don't have homemade.  
I suggest making this...even my kids inhaled it.  BBQ it, bake it....whatever floats your boat.  Just make it.





Bacon Tomato Caesar Pizza

Makes 2 Pizzas

2 thin crust pizza crusts or 4 Naan
1/2 cup homemade or store bought Caesar Dressing (I used Renee's)
Pinch of Chili Flakes
1 clove garlic, finely chopped 
8 slices of good bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 pint of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
Basil Leaves, as many as you want

Preheat the oven to 425F....or your BBQ.
Combine the dressing, chili flakes and garlic in a bowl.  Spread on the pizza crusts.  Sprinkle with half the cheese, the tomatoes and bacon.  Tumble over the rest of the cheese.  
Bake for 8-12 minutes, keeping an eye on it after 8 minutes to make sure it doesn't burn.  Remove from the oven and scatter over the basil. 
Drool, slice, serve.
