Easy Caprese Breakfast Pizza

Here's another recipe from Hungry Girl 200 under 200. I tried this for the first time this morning and it was actually really yummy. And I stayed full for along time after which I think is the hardest thing when eating lighter foods. The recipe makes one serving. 185 calories, 5g fat, 430mg sodium, 23.5g carbs, 6g fiber, 1.5g sugar, 14g protein, 5 WW points plus.

1 light english muffin
2 thick slices from a large firm plum tomato
6 fresh basil leaves
1 piece light mozzarella string cheese, pulled into strips
1 tsp light whipped butter or light buttery spread
1/2 tsp crushed garlic
Optional: salt, black pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small dish, combine butter and garlic. Mix well and set aside.
Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Cook tomato slices for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until lightly blackened.
Split English muffin into halves. Spread garlic-butter mixture evenly over both halves. Top each half evenly with mozzarella cheese strips.
Place three basil leaves on top of each cheese-topped muffin half, followed by tomato slices.
Place halves on a baking sheet sprayed lightly with nonstick spray. bake in the oven until the cheese has melted and muffin halves are toasty, about 5 minutes.
Finish off with dash of salt and pepper on top of each tomato.
