Ingredients

6 whole-wheat pitas (about 4 ½-inch rounds)
¾ cup tomato sauce, no salt added
1 ½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella or cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons sliced black olives
3 cherry tomatoes, sliced
1 small yellow or orange bell pepper, cut into rings and cut in half
6 large basil leaves

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place pitas on a greased cookie tray. For each pita, top with 2 tablespoons tomato sauce. Sprinkle ¼ cup cheese on top of sauce. Make a face using 2 olives for eyes, 1 tomato slice for nose and 1 red pepper strip for smile.

Bake for 10–12 minutes or until cheese is melted. While baking, tear each basil leaf into 4 parts, using 2 pieces for eyebrows and 2 pieces for a bowtie. Place on pizza after slightly cooled.
