Lemony Zucchini Goat Cheese Pizza
So I stole this recipe (like most) off of www.smittenkitchen.com. It just looked so easy and good! I wanted to make my own pizza dough, but that will have to wait until I get a real mixer.
All you need is:
- One pre-prepared pizza crust (I used Boboli)
- One container of goat cheese
- Lemon juice (fresh or bottled, doesn’t matter)
- Zucchini and Squash
- Fresh and dried herbs
- Olive Oil
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the goat cheese and enough lemon juice to make the goat cheese spreadable. Add freshly ground pepper if you want! Spread this on the pizza crust, top with chopped basil. I added some chopped arugula for spice.
Cut the zucchini and squash into thin medallions and layer, working from the center out. Alternate colors if you want to make it pretty! Put more veggies on the pizza than you think you’ll need- they will shrink up in the oven! Add more lemon juice and dried herbs on top of the veggies, then drizzle olive oil on top. Put in the oven and bake according to instructions provided with your pizza crust (it took us longer because we wanted a crispy crust).
This was a perfect late-Sunday afternoon lunch- super easy and fast.
After being overtaken by school this year, I decided to take this summer off to do what I wanted. My goal is to cook more- at least three new things a week. I'm going to document these and other adventures here...these are my experiences with cooking (AND with keeping up with a blog).
