White Cheese Pizza With Grilled Corn And Wood Smoked Bacon Recipes

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.

LAVOSH SMOKED CHEESE AND HAM PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cover 2 cookie sheets with lavosh. Drizzle lavosh with little extra-virgin olive oil and turn over. Layer cheese on the lavosh. If you are substituting smoked white cheddar, scatter the shredded cheese in an even layer allowing a little of the lavosh to still peek through.
• Place bread in oven to melt cheese, 5 minutes. Cut lavosh into squares and dot each square with small ham strips, draping them over the cheese. Scatter chopped greens over pizza squares. Drizzle pizza squares with extra-virgin olive oil and season with black pepper. Transfer to plate and serve.

WHITE PIZZA GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta, olive oil, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Refrigerate for at least an hour (or up to 24 hours) to allow the flavors to develop.
• Lay down the bread slices and, using a butter knife, spread the ricotta mixture evenly on each piece. The ricotta mixture should coat the insides of both pieces of bread. Note: If you're using large pieces of bread, you may want to make more of the ricotta mixture, or only make two or three sandwiches instead of four).
• Lay the mozzarella slices evenly on every other piece of bread (one side of each sandwich). Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and close the sandwiches by place both cheesy insides together.
• Rub the outsides of the sandwiches with the cut side of the garlic clove, then butter both sides generously.
• In a large frying pan over medium-low heat, cook the sandwiches, flipping often, until they're golden-brown on the outside and the cheese is melted inside, about 10 minutes.
• Serve immediately.

CORN AND BACON PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
• Place crust on the prepared pan.
• Puree 2/3 cup of corn kernels in a blender until smooth. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed. Spread the puree evenly across the crust, almost to the edge. Sprinkle 2 ounces Parmesan cheese evenly over the corn puree.
• Top the corn puree and cheese evenly with 4 tablespoons corn, bacon, and green onions. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden and crispy, 13 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
