- 1 cup sweet corn kernels
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or basil)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
– Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well. - Prepare the Dough:
– Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
– Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out small circles to create mini pizza bases. - Assemble the Pizzas:
– Place the dough circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
– Spoon a small amount of tomato sauce onto each base, spreading it evenly.
– Layer each with shredded mozzarella, a slice of ham, and a few corn kernels. - Season and Garnish:
– Drizzle the tops lightly with olive oil.
– Sprinkle with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
– Garnish with fresh herbs for additional flavor. - Bake:
– Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. - Serve:
– Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
– Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Dough: For extra crispy bases, pre-bake the dough circles for 3 minutes before adding toppings.
- Cheese Variations: Experiment with different cheese combinations like cheddar or gouda for a different flavor profile.
- Storage: Leftover pizzas can be stored in the fridge for 2 days and reheated in the oven.
- Customization: Feel free to add other toppings such as bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms to suit your taste preferences.
