Blue Cheese and
Brussels Sprouts Pizza
Source: theendlessmeal.com
Ingredients:
• ½ pizza dough recipe (see notes)
• 1 lb. Brussels sprouts, cut in half
• 3 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for
drizzling on the pizza
• 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
• A pinch of sugar
• ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• ½ cup Crumbled blue cheese
• Reduced balsamic vinegar and Italian
parsley, to garnish
medium-low, sprinkle the pinch of sugar
over top, and let the onions caramelize,
about 10 minutes more.
4. To assemble the pizzas:
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a
baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Lay the Brussels sprouts on the prepared
baking sheet, toss them with 1 teaspoon
of the olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of
sea salt and roast in the oven for 25-30
minutes. Once the Brussels come out of
the oven, increase your oven temp to 500
degrees, or as hot as it can get. If you're
using a pizza stone let your oven cool
slightly, place the stone in the oven, then
turn up the heat.
3. While the Brussels are roasting, prepare
the caramelized onions. Add the red
onion plus 2 teaspoons of the olive oil
to a large frying pan over medium-high
heat. Let the onions cook until they are
soft and brown, then lower the heat to
28
5. Follow the directions for the pizza dough
by carefully stretching the dough to form
an oval or rough circle. Either place the
pizza crust on an upside down baking
sheet or on your pizza peel if you're using
a pizza stone.
6. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of
each pizza then sprinkle on the parmesan
cheese and a little sea salt. Divide the
caramelized onions between each pizza
and top with the roasted Brussels and a
little crumbled blue cheese.
7. Bake the pizzas, one at a time, in your
oven for 10 minutes if you are using a
baking sheet, or 7 minutes if you are
using a pizza stone. When the pizza
comes out of the oven drizzle on some
reduced balsamic vinegar and top with
some Italian parsley. ✽
