Heirloom Tomato, Arugula & Goat Cheese Pizza

Would you like a little pizza with those beautiful heirloom tomatoes?!? :)

Ha! Pretty sure I went to town on this one. Had some leftover colorful heirlooms from this salad I posted earlier in the week for Week 3 of our “Tomato Love Recipe Exchange”. (Don’t forget to enter here for a chance to win this week’s giveaway!)  So I decided to turn them another easy dish — pizza!

I had some baby arugula and goat cheese on hand, so those were the lucky additional ingredients that paired with the tomatoes. But you could easily sub in different cheeses, or add some of your own favorite toppings. I just love using juicy fresh tomatoes occasionally in place of tomato sauce. All the better, of course, when they are beautiful heirlooms!!

What are some of your favorite ways to enjoy heirlooms this summer?

  9. I’m such a huge fan of goat cheese and heirloom tomatoes. And since I’ve been reading the Tomato Love posts, I’ve only bought my tomatoes directly from farmers at the farmers markets. It’s been so eye opening.
