Do you have a lot of TOMATOES??

We have A LOT OF TOMATOES right now and needed to find a creative way to use them. I was craving pizza and came up with this recipe from Pinterest. It was technically for flatbread but made it into a pizza since I had just made pizza crust.

I didn't have any fresh basil on hand, so I just used dried.

We over did it on the balsamic which then made the crust a little soggy. SO, if you put a little less balsamic on it, you will be good! Hope you like it!!
