a new kind of pizza


roasted grape & goat cheese pizza with pine nuts

If you haven't ever roasted grapes before, you have to start.  drizzle them with a little olive oil, salt & pepper and roast them for about 10-15 minutes at 400.  The result is a juicy, rich sweetness that is oh so delicious!  The combination of roasted grapes with goat cheese on this pizza was delightful.  I liked it even more than I expected.  And the pine nuts were necessary for that extra texture and flavor.  I just drizzled a little olive oil on the crust after baking, added the (already roasted) grapes, goat cheese, and pine nuts, and baked for just a little longer until the cheese softened.  The next time I make it I will add a little more goat cheese I think... it was just a tad less than the perfect amount. 

note about the picture:  I forgot to take a pic the night it was freshly baked and the above photo is of day old pizza, so it isn't too pretty anymore.  I still gobbled it up right after snapping this shot... it was even delicious cold.
