1 Red bell pepper (4 oz.)
12 Sticks (1 oz. each) mozzarella
8 Small (about 5″ diam.) baked pizza crusts
1 cup Pizza sauce

Core, stem and seed pepper; cut lengthwise into 1″-wide strips.
Cut each strip crosswise into 1/2″ pieces (fingernails).
Round corners on one end of each piece.
Cut each cheese stick in half crosswise.
On rounded end of each stick (finger), cut out a 1/2″-square notch into which a pepper piece will fit to make a nail.
Lay crusts slightly apart on 3 baking sheets, each 12″x15″.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over each crust.
Lay 3 cheese fingers well apart on each crust: fit a red pepper nail onto each.
Bake in a 450F oven until cheese just begins to melt, about 8 min.

Yield: 8 personal pizzas
