Yield Makes 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 to 13 ounces cherry tomatoes and/or pear tomatoes
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
12 12x9-inch sheets fresh phyllo pastry or frozen, thawed
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
4 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese, divided
3/4 cup (packed) coarsely grated smoked mozzarella cheese* (about 3 ounces)
1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup quartered pitted Kalamata olives
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and oregano in medium bowl. Scatter tomatoes on large rimmed baking sheet; roast until soft and beginning to collapse, about 22 minutes. Remove from oven and let tomato mixture cool. Maintain oven temperature.
  • Place stack of phyllo sheets on work surface and cover with plastic wrap, then damp kitchen towel to prevent drying.
  • Brush another large rimmed baking sheet with some of melted butter. Place 1 phyllo sheet on baking sheet. Brush lightly with melted butter and top with second phyllo sheet. Brush with butter and top with third sheet; brush with butter. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Repeat 3 more times for total of 12 phyllo sheets and 4 tablespoons Parmesan. Sprinkle stacked phyllo sheets with grated mozzarella, leaving 1/2-inch plain border. Top with roasted tomatoes, pepper strips, and olives.
  • Bake pizza until phyllo is crisp, 25 to 27 minutes. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons fresh oregano over, loosen pizza from sheet with large metal spatula, and slide onto cutting board.
  • *Also called mozzarella affumicata; sold at some specialty foods stores and at cheese shops. If unavailable, use regular (not fresh) whole-milk mozzarella.

This recipe was a disaster! The dough was impossible to work with and the pizza turned out burnt.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pizza didn't turn out well. The crust was soggy and the toppings were undercooked.

This pizza was okay. The crust was a little too dry for my taste and the toppings were a bit bland.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pizza turned out beautifully. I used fresh mozzarella and basil from my garden and it was divine!

This phyllo pizza was amazing! The combination of the crispy phyllo dough, smoked mozzarella, and sweet cherry tomatoes was perfect. I will definitely be making this again!
