Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place one sheet of phyllo pastry on the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush it with melted butter. Repeat this process by layering the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing melted butter between each layer.

Arrange the sliced fresh mozzarella and halved cherry tomatoes across the surface of the cheese layer.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the top, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Bake the phyllo pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with balsamic glaze, if desired.

Step 8

Slice into squares or strips and serve warm. Enjoy your Tomato Mozzarella Phyllo Crust Pizza!
