Melba Pizzas



I created this snack a few years ago and it quickly became a favorite for parties, hors d'eouvres or just snacking.

Garlic flavored Melba toast crackers
Smoked cheese, such as Mozzarella, Fontina, Gouda, Cheddar
Plum tomatoes (or garlic roasted tomatoes or dried tomatoes)

Fresh Basil leaves
Parmesan Cheese
Red pepper flakes

Preheat your broiler

Line a pizza pan or a baking dish with foil, shiny side up

Spray the foil with a vegetable or olive oil spray

Arrange the Melba crackers on the foil

Add a fresh basil leaf. By putting the basil down first, the other toppings will prevent it from burning.

Add a slice of cheese on top of the basil.

Add the tomato.

Sprinkle the top with the grated Parmesan cheese.

Place under the broiler and watch carefully so it doesn't burn.

Remove as soon as the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes as desired. These can be served immediately or at room temperature.
