Loading...A rich and savory mushroom mix sautéed in pork fat with thyme and fresh parsley; pork belly and lightly fried potato slices with fresh mozzarella and grated Asiago.
Ingredients
- 6-8 Slices of Bacon, sliced into 1" pieces and fried (or fully cooked pork belly, sliced and browned)
- 4-6 Small Baby Potatoes, sliced into 1/8" thick slices (baby red potatoes, or fingerling potatoes)
- 2 Packages Mixed Mushrooms, sliced (or your favorite mushrooms)
- 2-4 Sprigs Thyme
- Kosher salt and Pepper, to taste
- 3-4 tbsp. Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup Fresh Mozzarella Pearls, each pearl halved
- 1 cup Asiago Cheese, grated
- Drizzle of Olive Oil
- 1 Prepared Pizza Dough
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Fry the cut bacon slices in a skillet until cooked through but not too crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, set aside.
Add potato slices in a single layer to skillet with bacon fat and cook until the potatoes slightly brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon and sprinkle with salt and pepper, set aside.
Add mushroom mix to skillet with the remaining bacon fat, add the thyme sprigs and a sprinkling of salt. Cook until the mushrooms cook off most of their liquid and begin to brown. Add the fresh parsley, stir and transfer mixture to a bowl, remove the thyme sprigs and set aside.
Lightly oil a large sheet pan and set aside your pizza station.
Flatten dough out to about 14 inches in diameter and lay it on the sheet tray.
Brush a light coating of olive oil over entire dough and layer some Asiago cheese.
Then the potatoes, then the bacon, add the mozzarella pearl halves; then add all but a small handful of the mushroom mixture. Add the remaining Asiago cheese and top with the remaining mushroom mixture.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
