Pizza with Feta and Basil

I used Chase Hill Farm feta for this, which had a nice salty pungency. And basil from my garden. If you have fresh tomatoes, try pre-baking the crust then using sliced tomatoes instead of sauce--I'll be doing that later in the season when our own tomatoes are ripe.

1 14-inch pizza crust
olive oil
1/2 cup tomato sauce
3/4 - 1 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
4 oz crumbled feta
2-3 oz shredded mozzarella

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Paint the crust with olive oil.

Spread the tomato sauce over the crust, then scatter the basil over it. Top with the crumbled feta and mozzarella.

Bake for about 15 minutes, until crust is done and cheese begins to brown.

Serves 3-4.
