Mini Pizzas: Tomato and Scallion

As much as I love to cook, there is something about the work and love that goes into preparing a meal (or even just a dish) that makes it almost mandatory to share with others. I find it difficult to cook for one, not just because my portion sizes get screwy, but because cooking and eating are communal activities to me.

But, sometimes I have to cook just for myself. Though I occasional indulge in something fancy or try out a new recipe (so I can perfect it before I feed it to my friends) usually I just opt for something quick, easy, and healthy. This is a perfect meal for one-- especially if that one is rushed for time. This could also be an appetizer for a group!

A few weeks ago I had another mini-pizza entry, and now I'm coming back for more! This time I was using up an overripe tomato,basil from my garden, some scallions that were on their last day, and the last bits of goat cheese and parmesan (I used about an oz of each). I mixed and matched these ingredients on two of my favorite little sandwich thins. Then I lightly sprayed them with olive oil and popped them under the broiler until golden and gooey (about five minutes).
