ROASTED TOMATO, KALE & 3-CHEESE PIZZA

Forget flaccid pizza crusts. Phyllo pastry makes THE most perfect crispy, crunchy pizza base. A whipped ricotta, feta & parmesan base topped with roasted cherry tomatoes & garlic kale chips, it’s time to get flaky.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • a pinch of sea salt & freshly ground pepper
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled & softened at room temperature
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1.3 oz 1 1/3 cups finely grated, fresh Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 4 to 5 stalks of kale
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 stick butter, melted 4oz/125g
  • 1/2 1 lb/454g box phyllo pastry sheets, thawed according to package directions

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Arrange the tomato in a single layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with a good pinch of salt & pepper. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes until tomato is wrinkled & a little dry; set aside.
  • Line another baking sheet (10 x 15-inch (25 x 38cm)) baking sheet with parchment paper, bringing it up over the sides to make it easier to remove the pizza after it’s cooked.
  • Place feta, ricotta & 1 cup of parmesan in a food processor & process until smooth.
  • Using a sharp knife, remove & discard the kale stalks. Tear or chop the leaves into large pieces.
  • Line the prepared baking sheet with 1 or 2 sheets of pastry depending on the pastry size. The Athens phyllo pastry I used had 9 x 14-inch (23 x 35cm) sheets of phyllo so I used 2 phyllo sheets side-by-side per layer*. Brush the pastry lightly with some melted butter. Layer with another sheet of pastry and brush with a little more butter. Repeat with the remaining pastry & butter. You’ll have 10 layers of pastry (20 sheets).
  • Carefully spread the ricotta mixture over the pastry. Scatter kale & tomato over ricotta; sprinkle with remaining parmesan. Bake in preheated oven, on the second bottom rack, for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
  • Cut into 12 pieces to serve. Serve hot.

Notes

* Some phyllo sheets are larger and will cover the whole baking sheet. That’s how I used to buy them. Now they’re half the size. You’ll have to be the judge depending on the pastry size.
