Extra-Crispy Tortilla Pizza
Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 10-inch flour tortilla
- 1/4 cup (60ml) store-bought or homemade pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 oz (45g) shredded whole milk low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 1 oz (30g) finely grated parmesan cheese, divided
- Kosher salt
- 2 fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
- Adjust oven rack to 6 to 8 inches below broiler and preheat broiler to high.
- Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over high heat until shimmering. Reduce heat to medium-low and wipe out excess oil with a paper towel.
- Place tortilla in skillet with the rougher, textured side facing down.
- Spread sauce evenly over tortilla all the way to the edges. Spread mozzarella and half of parmesan evenly over tortilla all the way to the edges. Season lightly with salt. Scatter with basil and drizzle with olive oil.
- Place skillet under broiler and broil until cheese is melted and starting to brown in spots, about 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining parmesan.
- Using a small metal spatula, gently pry edges of pizza loose, releasing the cheese from the skillet, and peek under the bottom.
- If more crispiness is desired, place skillet over medium heat on stove and cook, swirling pizza and peeking occassionally until desired cripiness is achieved.
- Slide pizza onto cutting board, cut and serve immediately.
