Grilled Caprese Pizza with Cream Cheese Pesto Sauce
15 mins prepServes 4
A simple and delicious grilled pizza recipe made with a premade crust, featuring a unique base of cream cheese mixed with tomato paste, layered with pesto, fresh mozzarella, basil, and organic tomatoes, cooked on a Traeger grill.
1. Preheat your grill (e.g., Traeger Timberline 1300) to 400F.
2. Roll out the premade pizza crust onto parchment paper until it is thin.
3. In a small bowl, mix the 6 oz of cream cheese with the 1 small can (approx. 6 oz) of tomato paste. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough.
4. Layer 1 cup of pesto over the cream cheese and tomato paste mixture.
5. Top the pizza generously with fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, chopped organic tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper.
6. Carefully transfer the pizza (still on the parchment paper) to the preheated grill.
7. Cook until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
