three-cheese pesto pizza

Here's a new recipe from my new tasteofhome cook book, Most Requested Recipes. http://www.shoptasteofhome.com/Most-Requested-Recipes/39603,default,pd.html

We recently made those Mediterranean pita pizzas and this is similar, but more Italian. (Also, very quick to make!)

Three-Cheese Pesto Pizza
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup finely chopped red pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 prebaked 12-inch pizza crust
1/2 cup prepared pesto
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (only use 4 oz, otherwise it gets too salty)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
Optional: 1 can chopped ripe olives (I don't like olives so I didn't add these)

In a small skillet, saute onion and red pepper in oil until tender.  Not too long.  Remove from heat and set aside.
Place crust on ungreased pizza pan or stone.  Spread with pesto to within 1/2 inch of edges.  Layer with cheeses, onion mixture, and tomatoes and/or olives.  Bake at 400 for 15-18 minutes or until cheese is melted.
I also spread a little olive oil on the crust to give it some color while cooking.
