Berries and Goat Cheese Mini Pizzas

AuthoradminCategory, , , , , , , , , CuisineCooking MethodDifficultyBeginner

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 Serving
Prep Time5 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time20 mins
 1 pound Whole Wheat or Gluten Free Pizza Dough (homemade or we like Trader Joe's)
 6 ounces crumbled Goat Cheese
 6 teaspoons all Fruit Jam or Honey
 Mixed Berries: Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries
 1/4 cup chopped Nuts (I used Pistachios on these)
Optional Toppings
 Honey, Sucanat, Stevia Powder or Powdered Sugar
 Dried Fruit
 Berry Sauce as a dip or drizzled topping
 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.
