Pizza
It’s Fall, the weather is cooling down and football is here!! Ya know what that means at my house? Game day snacks and appetizers! My favorite thing to make is appetizers and we really enjoyed this pizza! We enjoyed it so much I made it the next day too!! This pizza is sweet from the sun dried tomatoes and the salt from the capers, but the best thing about this snack is that it only takes about ten minutes to make!!
Note – The ingredient amounts are per pizza. You can use as many or as little as you would like.
INGREDIENTS
1 flour tortilla
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon tomato sauce
1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon sun dried tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon capers
1 clove of garlic, finely minced
1 Tablepoon finely sliced red onion
Salt
Pepper
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread olive oil over tortilla using the back of a spoon. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the olive oil layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the Parmesan cheese over the sauce followed by the sun dried tomatoes, capers, garlic and onions. Place tortilla directly on the oven rack and bake for 6-8 minutes or until the edges of the tortilla are browned but not burnt. Mine took 6 minutes! Remove from ove, slice and serve warm!
Enjoy!

Some friends and I went for a girl’s lake weekend at our friend Cathy’s house. The “camp” was just over two hours away and we had some great food plans! One of our plans was grilled pizza for dinner. Well, that did not work as we had gone out for breakfast at a fantastic place that you will hear about next week, then we had a late lunch…then …well, after a few hours in the lake and in the sun we had all slowed down and none of us were very hungry. I think we were more water logged!
Speaking of water logged, Cathy’s dog, Putter, who is the sweetest dog ever, kept us busy! He loves the lake and loves to fetch ROCKS in the lake…yes, this dog fetches rocks at the bottom of the lake and brings them up on land and has such a good time with it! The first day we were there he brought out 12 rocks…no joke! 12! Do you see the size of that rock?
Such a silly, sweet pup! He wore us out that day!! Actually, we found out later that poor Putter got swimmers tail! Yes, it is a real thing. As Cathy said, “Putter broke his Rudder”! Poor guy was on medicine and rest for a week!! Not an easy thing for this guy! You will all be happy to know he is well and fine and back in the water!
So as we sat back and pondered about the lack of dinner we wanted, we decided on instead of grilled pizza for dinner… to have grilled pizza breakfast! What a great idea that was, especially since Leanne brought fresh eggs from the chickens that she raises! We all loved it, and when I got home and told Jim about it he was feeling a little jealous and left out. I think he will be having grilled breakfast pizza very soon! This is definitely something you can make for breakfast, lunch or dinner with any combination of meat and veggies!
Note: We cooked and crumbled the sausage in advance. If you don’t like raw onions or veggies go ahead and sauté those as well. That can also be done in advance.
We cooked the farm fresh eggs sunny side up just before finishing the top of the pizza.
INGREDIENTS
Pizza dough
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 cup of “hot” Jimmy Dean sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup of diced Canadian bacon
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 eggs fried, yolks still runny (or you can do an over easy)
Salt
Pepper
DIRECTIONS
Preheat your clean grill to medium heat. Roll out your pizza dough. I made it more of an oblong shape to go on the grill a little easier. Brush both sides of the dough with the olive oil and place the dough directly on the grill. As the bottom of the dough starts to cook the top will bubble up just a little bit. That is the sign the bottom is cooking and almost ready to turn. When the bottom side of the dough is cooked through turn the dough to cook the other side, I let this cook just a couple minutes before adding the toppings. When it is time to add the toppings go ahead and add the cheese first, covering the entire crust. Close the grill lid and let the cheese begin to melt, about a minute or two. Then add your meats, tomatoes and onion. Add your already cooked sunny side up or over easy eggs, to the top of the pizza. Close the grill and continue until the bottom of the crust is finished cooking through. You can also add a little more cheese on the top at this time if you want to, along with some salt and pepper to taste. Remove from grill. Slice so each person has an egg on their pizza and serve warm.
Enjoy!
This pizza is not for the weak! This has a huge amount of flavor and a huge amount of HEAT! This would be great served on game day with good friends and a cold beer!
INGREDIENTS
olive oil
4 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
2 jalapeños, sliced
1 shallot, sliced
1 ball of pizza dough, homemade or store bought
1/4 cup cornmeal
6 ounces of cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups Monterey jack cheese
SRIRACHA HONEY DRIZZLE
1/4 cup sriracha
3 Tablespoons Ketchup
1/2 Tablespoon of garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoon honey
2 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1/2 Tablespoon of sesame oil
Mix all ingredients for drizzle together and set aside.
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. In a bowl combine the jalapeños and shallot with 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil.
Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with cornmeal roll your dough out into a large round (10 inches or so)
transfer to baking sheet or pizza pan. Spread the cream cheese evenly over the top leaving a small boarder around the edge. Top with jalapeño and shallots, Monterey jack cheese and cooked and crumbled bacon. Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is crisp and cooked through and cheese is melted. Just before you take the pizza out of the oven, drizzle with the sriracha sauce bake for one more minute. Remove pizza from oven and serve warm.
