Today I was so busy with my Spring cleaning that when lunch time came around I was really hungry and did not feel like spending a lot of time making something. After spotting the fresh mozzarella cheese and tomatoes I had in my refrigerator, I decided to make these Margherita pizzette. Pizzette are “miniature pizzas” in Italian. Mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and basil is such a simple combination, but one of my favorites. I bought the whole wheat flat bread at Trader Joes, which makes this recipe so much quicker and easier! You can also make your own crust if you have time time.
What are your favorite pizza toppings?

I love a simple Margherita pizza!! And it is pure genius to make them with whole wheat flatbread!!
OO, delicious! So fresh and spring-like!
As for spring cleaning, isn’t the weather in SF this week amazing? So pretty and sunny!
I LOVE the flatbreads at Trader Joe’s – they are so good and versatile! I make quesadillas with them.
This looks awesome! And so simple too! I now know what my weekday meals are going to look like..
This is my dream lunch! So perfect and comforting.
Quick and flavorful — what could be better? I love the simplicity of a nice Margherita pizza. It’s either that or a pepperoni for me — just depends on how evil I want to be!
