Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.

4. Put this mixture back into a pan and dry out over a low heat.
5. Put the mixture into a bowl, add the cheddar cheese and the egg and mix well.

8. Remove the pizza from the oven. Gently spread over the tomato sauce. Top with the sliced mozzarella cheese, red pepper, Serrano ham and the black olives.
9. Bake in the oven for a further 15 minutes. Serve topped with the basil leaves.
