Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar
  • ½ recipe Parmesan Cauliflower Crust, prebaked (page 17)
  • 2 tablespoons cooked bacon, chopped
  • ⅓ cup shaved Parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, sliced
  • Flaky sea salt, for garnish
  • Freshly ground black pepper, for garnish

Preparation

  1. Preheat the pizza oven with the pizza stone on the rack to 500°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, oil, honey, and salt. Toss the Brussels sprouts in the balsamic mixture and set aside.
  3. Scatter the Cheddar over the cauliflower crust, followed by the Brussels sprouts and the bacon.
  4. Set the timer for 5 minutes. Slide the deep dish pan onto the pizza stone. Start the timer.
  5. When the timer sounds, check the pizza. If baked to desired doneness, remove the pan from the oven, or bake for about 1 more minute. Let cool for 2 minutes on a cooling rack and then remove from the pan.
  6. Garnish with the Parmesan, chives, flaky sea salt, and black pepper before slicing and serving.
