On line, I have no boss, or deadline. I can delete the unpleasant comments, and only interact with people who agree with me. I don't care if people don't like me, or object to my pink hair, or think they are better than me. On line, no one is better than me. On line I'm an expert cook, and a master gardener, and a wonderful mom, and who's to say me nay?
Today, an experiment, drawn from the web and then tweaked to be my own. This is essentially pizza casserole
Baked mozzarella
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil2-4 slices coarse country-style bread
salt and freshly ground pepper
2-3 tomatoes, cut into thick slices
13 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced
several slices hard salami, cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons fresh basil
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Pour the oil into a baking dish. Arrange the bread slices in the baking dish so they are slightly overlapping in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover the bread with the tomatoes . Arrange the mozzarella over the toms, then put the salami over all. Sprinkle with the oregano or basil.
For vegetarian, substitute walnuts for the salami.
Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F oven for about 20 minutes.

One thing I miss by living in the country is fast food. By this I mean convenience, "I don't have to cook and dirty my kitchen" type of food. Well, that and pizza. Having grown up right outside of Chicago I miss me some good pizza! I think you just filled that hole, madame. Thank you, as always, for your fabulous recipes and insight on life!
ReplyDeleteThat looks pretty cool. Now that it is cold enough around here to use the oven, I may have to try that.
ReplyDeleteEspecially since the local pizza place (not that good) is now charging prices that I'd expect to pay in the Loop.
