I am so excited to share these fruity goat cheese pizzas with you. I took all the elements I love about a cheese platter and baked them into a pizza. Instead of having the cheese, berries, nuts and crackers on a plate individually, the addition of heat & dough adds lots of fun and flavor. You can use whole wheat dough or bake up a gluten free crust, the choice is yours.
Yields1 ServingPrep Time5 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time20 mins
1 pound Whole Wheat or Gluten Free Pizza Dough (homemade or we like Trader Joe's)
seasonings such as ground Cinnamon, Ginger, Cardamom or dried Lavender
1
Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees F with the rack in the middle. Prepare a baking sheet with a Silpat liner. Create equal sized balls of pizza dough and press into 1/4 inch thick flat discs, place on baking sheet. Spread 1 teaspoon of fruit jam on each pizza. Top each pizza with one ounce of goat cheese, some fruit and nuts. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and the dough is cooked through.
Notes
2
Creamy chevre goat cheese is awesome in these but you can use brie, mild cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese, etc.
3
Top with any chopped nuts, pecans, walnuts and hazelnuts would be great too.
4
Have some honey, sucanat, stevia powder or fruit jam hand for people that might want to go a bit sweeter.
5
You can you can go bigger or smaller in pizza size. Little pizza "bites" would be fun too.
