Bruschetta Pizza

April 21, 2014 by Nicole 3 Comments

Bruschetta Pizza | Culinary CoolSome may find it peculiar, that a person who isn’t the biggest fan of raw tomatoes, may actually like bruschetta.  When I eat it, I usually dust off about half the tomatoes, and go for a piece that’s heavy on the feta and balsamic.   I can support pretty much anything if it’s backed by cheese and balsamic vinegar.

This pizza is loaded with a good variety of my favorite things: feta, balsamic vinegar, mozzarella, red onions, and my current obsession – pesto!  Tomato sauce isn’t gonna cut it for this pizza.  You must use pesto!  Sprinkle with  red onion and a healthy dose of tomato.  And you have to use lots of feta.  I’m talking big chunks of feta here.  It always drives me nuts when restaurants are lame with their cheese.  No skimping in the cheese department, people!  Then, top it all off with some mozzarella.  Now bake that baby!  And afterwards, drizzle or drown (your call) the pizza with balsamic reduction. Or just regular un-reduced balsamic vinegar if your lazy or in a rush…or don’t want to dirty a saucepan.

As is with  most homemade pizza recipes, I don’t ever measure my toppings.  I just eyeball it until I think there’s sufficient coverage.  You know how much you like each item, so load up the ones you like more, and cut back on the not-so-good ones.   Use this recipe more like a guideline and get creative!

I recommend using my favorite Homemade Pizza Dough recipe for this pizza.  It requires some planning in advance, but it’s totally worth it!

    That looks sooooo good! I love balsamic … one of my favourite things ever is bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic … recently we had it with some cheese grated in there too. Uh, hello!!! The only thing is I can’t have pesto, unless it’s made without the pine nuts. The only thing I am allergic to is pine nuts.

      I completely agree that bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic is the best. And grated cheese? Well how could that not be awesome? Cheese makes everything better!

Four months with Little Miss Isla.  She loves peek-a-boo, looking at herself in the mirror, and her Jolly Jumper.  Her favourite song is The Ants Go Marching, and when I sing it, she stops crying instantly. •

She has found her voice and serenades us with plenty of high pitched squeals.  She's super smiley and happy, and loves playing with her toes.

If you’re like (almost) every other person who celebrated Thanksgiving over the weekend, then you have leftover turkey in your fridge or freezer right now.  Chances are, you’re also looking for inspiration for new ways to use it up.  May I suggest this recipe?  A hearty casserole full of nutty wild rice, broccoli, leftover turkey, and melty cheddar with those irresistible crispy bits around the edges.
