Variations:

Summer Veggie

Get the most from summer flavors with this seasonal variation. Replace canned tomatoes and mushrooms with 2 fresh tomatoes (sliced) and 2 small zucchinis (sliced). Spread the crust with 2 tablespoons pesto. Top with 1 sliced tomato and cover with 1 cup mozzarella, zucchini and onions. Proceed with second layer, using second sliced tomato and green pepper. Sprinkle with mozzarella and feta.

Fresh Cheese and Veggie

For extra richness, use 8 ounces sliced fresh mozzarella (waterpacked) in place of shredded mozzarella, and replace the feta with 1 cup ricotta. Spoon ricotta evenly over second layer of tomatoes, finish with mozzarella slices and bake.
