Crispy phyllo takes the place of a traditional pizza crust in this inventive recipe, which is a great appetizer or light entrée. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, melted |
8 sheets fresh phyllo pastry or frozen, thawed |
8 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 3/4 cups) |
1 medium onion, thinly sliced |
1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes, halved, seeded, sliced into rounds |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush 15x10x1-inch baking sheet with butter. Place 1 phyllo sheet in prepared pan (edges of phyllo may go up sides of baking sheer). Brush phyllo with butter, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Repeat layering with remaining phyllo, butter and Parmesan cheese. Top with even layers of mozzarella cheese and onion, then tomatoes. Sprinkle with oregano and thyme.
2. Bake until crust is crisp and golden brown at edges, cheese melts and tomatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.
