Brie and Goat Cheese Pizza with Truffle Honey
Brie and Goat Cheese Pizza with Truffle Honey
Servings
4
Ingredients
For the Pizza
- 1 ball of store bought pizza dough OR homemade try this recipe
- 2 onions, peeled and sliced thinly
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 4 oz goat cheese
- 1 tbsp truffle honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 5 oz brie cheese
- 5 dried figs
- 1 cup of arugula
- Juice of half a lemon
- Olive oil to drizzle
- 1 tbsp of truffle honey (if you don’t have you can use regular honey, fig jam, or balsamic reduction)
- Salt and pepper
For the Salad
- 3 cups arugula
- ¼ cup nuts of choice
- 1 avocado
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees with either a pizza stone or sheet tray inside of it to get hot.
Peel and slice the onions into thin rounds. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat and add the onions with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Start with the lid on for about 5 minutes. Then turn the heat to medium low after the onions have softened and begin to brown. Continue stirring the onions every few minutes, alternating between lid on and off, until everything is browned and caramelized (about 20 minutes total). Right before the onions are done, add the minced garlic and cook for 60 seconds. Season with salt/pepper and remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the goat cheese, honey, oil, lemon zest, amd a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
Roll out one ball of the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12 inch round circle (or rectangle, sometimes the dough has a mind of its own).
Remove the sheet tray from the oven and drizzle the pan with olive oil. Carefully place the dough on the hot tray. Spread the crust with a drizzle of olive oil and the caramelized onions. Evenly dollop the goat cheese mix over the pizza. Slice the dried figs into thin slices and evenly spread them over the pizza. Slice the brie into slices and place evenly over the top.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly brown (this will depend greatly on the thickness and shape of your pizza so be sure to check it periodically). Dress the arugula with half a lemon juice, 1 tsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with truffle honey. Top with a handful of dressed arugula and more truffle honey, enjoy!
To prepare the Salad:
Add the arugula, walnuts, and avocado to a salad bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon, salt, pepper and toss.
