Chef Daves Grilled Strawberry And Goat Cheese Dessert Pizza Recipes

FIG AND GOAT CHEESE DESSERT PIZZA WITH PORT REDUCTION

Steps:

• Add port to a small pot, and simmer over medium heat for approximately 30 minutes, or until it reduces to a couple of tablespoons and takes on the consistency of maple syrup. Reserve.
• Lightly sprinkle work surface with corn meal. Place dough directly in the middle of the work surface. Roll dough out gently 1/4-inch thick, into either a 12-inch rectangle or circle. Brush both sides with oil and set aside until ready to grill.
• If you are grilling on a charcoal grill, set coals on one side of the grill.
• Place dough directly on the cooking grate over medium heat for 1 to 3 minutes, until the crust is well marked and browned. Flip dough and spread with orange marmalade on cooked side of pizza crust. Arrange fig slices in on top. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top. Move to indirect heat (for charcoal: the side of charcoal grill that has no coals. For gas: turn off burner directly under pizza). Cover grill and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until bottom is well browned, and cheese is fully melted.
• Remove from grill. Slice, drizzle with port reduction, and serve immediately.

PIZZA GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the butter, Parmesan, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper. Brush one side of each slice of bread with this mixture.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lay one piece of the bread, butter-side down, in the skillet. Spread 1 tablespoon marinara sauce on the bread and layer on the mozzarella, provolone, pepperoni, pepper slices, olives and basil leaves. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up. Toast in the skillet, flipping as needed, until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from the skillet and slice in half. Serve with the remaining 1/4 cup marinara on the side.

GRILLED DESSERT PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high heat. Try to get it as hot as possible (500 degrees F). Stretch the pizza dough to fit a baking sheet. Brush the grill and the dough with oil. Slide and flip the pizza dough oil-side down directly on the grill. Grill until the crust is cooked through and golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side, oiling the other side of the dough before flipping.
• Remove the pizza dough from the grill and, while it is still hot, spread on the chocolate-hazelnut spread, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust. Top with coconut, bananas, nuts and dried fruit. Cut into squares and serve immediately.
