Zucchini Lemon Pizza with Truffle is so flavorful and texturally beautiful; with fresh lemon zing and black truffle umami richness.

Ingredients

  • 1 Prepared Pizza Dough
  • 1 cup Grated Gruyére Cheese
  • 1/2 Zucchini, sliced into ribbons
  • 1 Lemon, sliced into paper-thin rounds
  • Black Truffle Paste (like Sabatino Tartufi Black Truffle Paste)
  • Pecorino Romano Cheese, grated over cooked pizza

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2

On a floured pizza peel, dust the dough with flour and create a crust around the perimeter of the dough and flatten down the center.

3

Stretch it out on the backs of your hands, left hand over right hand, until the dough is roughly 12-inches around.

4

Add more flour evenly on the peel and lay the dough on the peel.

5

First add a layer of Gruyére cheese, reserving a little bit to top the pizza before it hits the oven.

6

Lay the zucchini ribbons over the the cheese, in a slightly overlapping pattern.

7

Top the zucchini with the lemon slices. And sprinkle on the remaining Gruyére.

8

Bake the pizza for 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

9

When the pizza comes out of the oven, use a teaspoon to dollop as much or as little truffle paste as you like, evenly over the pizza.

10

Use a rasp-style grater to grate the Pecorino Romano over the top of the whole pie, be sure to top the crust too.

Slice and enjoy!
