Mike and I love cooking together and taking our favorites and combining them: goat cheese (for me) and bacon and italian sausage (for him) with some brussels sprouts and a salad on the side to get those veggies in!
goat cheese, bacon, brussels sprouts and sausage pizza
8 oz package of goat cheese, softened
1 cup mozzarella, shredded
1/2 cup brussels sprouts, diced
4 pieces of bacon, diced
3 sausages (any kind you like, we used spicy italian)
1 whole wheat pizza crust
a few shakes of worcheshire sauce
1 tbsp of butter
2 tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper for seasoning
- preheat oven to 350, heat a pan and place sausages with worcheshire sauce, let cook for a few minutes
- add bacon, brussels sprouts, butter, salt & pepper
- saute all until fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes)
- while that cooks in the oven flour the counter and your rolling pin and begin rolling out your dough. (be liberal with the flour so nothing sticks)
- I usually use a rectangle cookie sheet, so I roll the dough accordingly. you can use a pizza stone but I have never had much success with them.
- once the dough is rolled out, lightly oil your pan and place the dough in, making a crust by shaping the sides against the pan. if you have excess dough just cut it off the sides. be careful not to stretch it as the dough will rip.
- pre-cook the dough in the oven until its slightly browned (about 10 minutes depending on thickness)
- take about half of the goat cheese and spread on the crust, place back in the oven to fully melt for another 4 minutes
- slice sausage, add to crust with bacon, brussels sprouts and drizzle some of the pan juices on top
- sprinkle with mozzarella and top with remaining goat cheese
- bake until the cheese is melted (about 5-7 minutes)
Happy pizza night!
