Earlier this week I made something truly delicious.
And I can’t believe I’ve been silent for so long about it. Forgive me!
Pesto + goat cheese are a match made in heaven. Most of you probably know this by now. But have you tried grilling your pizza yet? I hadn’t. It was totally new to me, but now that I tried it I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go back. The crust! It was SO chewy and perfectly charred! You guys need to try this…like tonight.
I topped my pizza with thick slices of tomato and sauteed mushrooms, but it would be great with any toppings. I’ve been on a fennel sausage kick as of late, and think that that variation would just be divine!
The recipe is over at PBS Food. You’re gonna love it!

June 23, 2012 at 8:54 amLOVE pesto pizza. I do a pesto/fresh mozzarella combo that I just can’t get enough of. This sounds incredible! I have yet to really delve into the goat cheese world, but this might be a great way to do it 🙂

June 25, 2012 at 10:49 amIt saddens me greatly that I am currently without a grill. 🙁
However, I will coerce one of my BBQ-owning friends to invite me over to make them this pizza. It looks SO delicious!

June 25, 2012 at 11:16 amI have always wanted to grill a pizza but have been scared the dough would fall between the grating while it cooks and turn into a huge mess! This looks so amazing that I may have to defeat my fears!
