This was the best combination on a pizza ever! I LOVE the cream cheese idea! I have made this with cherry tomatoes and regular tomatoes and I prefer using regular ones. Also, I do not precook the bread anymore. I think it is a little too crisp to precook it and then cook it again. I just warm up the cream cheese before spreading it to make it easier to spread.

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
