Bleu cheese pizza
Pizza
Italian cuisine
This is what I got when I combined my favorite sandwich and pizza. We have a speciality cheese shop here in Anchorage, Alaska that makes a grilled bleu cheese and fig sandwich which is fabulous. Any reason to travel 30 miles out of my way for cheese; generally results in a grilled bleu cheese sandwich to boot. I also love pizza - who doesn't. My favorite is a thin crust pizza, I love the crunch and the way the ingredients are not secondary to crust. This recipe is simply a combination of two things I enjoy. Bleu cheese pizza is a simple to make pizza with the sharp, salty intensity of bleu cheese that is complimented with the sweetness of fig jam. You can use pita bread, a boboli, or make your own crust. If you choose to make your own crust and are in need of a great recipe I frequently use and would recommend Chef Nathan Lyon's pizza crust recipe from his cookbook "Good Food Starts Fresh." This is prefect for when unexpected visitors stop by and you need something fast or just to indulge with a glass of wine. A dry riesling or a sauvignon blanc are my personal favorites with this treat.
