Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 flour tortilla (one 10-inch tortilla)
• 3 tablespoons neufchatel low-fat cream cheese
• 8 ounces imitation crabmeat (as chunky as you like!)
• 3 -4 tablespoons onions (chopped)

• black pepper (to taste)
• cayenne pepper (to taste)
• 4 ounces swiss cheese (minced or shredded)
• 1/2 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 6 -8 fresh basil leaves (snipped)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 425f for pyrex, or 450f for a metal pizza pan.
• 2 spread olive oil on pizza pan (i use pyrex!) to prevent the tortilla from sticking to the pan.
• 3 place flour tortilla onto pizza pan and spread on cream cheese.
• 4 top with imitation crab meat and onion.
• 5 lightly sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
• 6 top with swiss and cheddar cheeses.
• 7 top cheeses with the snipped basil.
• 8 bake at 425f (pyrex) or at 450f (metal) for 15 minutes.
• 9 remove from oven and immediately slide pizza onto a wire rack so the crust doesn't sweat!
• 10 cool for 10-15 minutes, slide the pizza back onto the pizza pan and cut into 8 pieces, with a pizza cutter.
• 11 three-four pieces with a green salad is plenty for two-three persons, or as an appetizer for a few folks!
• 12 note: use whatever cheese mixture you like ~ my photo with the blue background is made with swiss and mozzarella, with the basil underneath where it can't be seen!
