Leek And Goat Cheese Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in large skillet over medium-low heat. Add leeks; saute until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in parsley.
• Cool.
• Spread leek topping evenly over pizza shell; sprinkle tomatoes over.
• Top with cheese. Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over.
• Bake about 10 minutes at 450 F.
• Remove from oven and brush crust with olive oil.

Steps:

• Heat butter and oil in a skillet. Add leeks and onions and saute over low heat, covered, until the vegetables are very tender but not brown. Stir them from time to time as they cook.
• Crumble saffron into skillet, add salt and mix. Cover and continue to cook 10 more minutes, stirring a few times.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Dust a large baking sheet with cornmeal.
• Divide dough into four equal portions. Shape each into a circle about 6 inches in diameter with a rim of about 1/2 inch and place on baking sheet. Spread each circle of dough with the saffron-flavored leek mixture.
• Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese evenly over each pizza, then arrange strips of sun-dried tomatoes like spokes of a wheel over the cheese. If using olives, sprinkle the pieces in a circular pattern on each pizza.
• Bake on the bottom level of the oven until lightly browned and the cheese has melted, about 20 minutes. Serve at once.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil.
• In a skillet, fry the bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crisp; remove and set aside. Pour off most of the grease but do not clean the skillet. Return the skillet to the stove and turn the heat to medium low. Add the leeks and saute until soft, about 3 minutes.
• Pull or roll the bread dough into a rectangle and place on the oiled baking sheet. Drizzle the dough with olive oil. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer all over the crust, slightly overlapping the edges. Sprinkle the potatoes lightly with salt, then lay the mozzarella slices in a single layer on top of the potatoes. Arrange the leeks on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the fried bacon pieces over the top, followed by a generous addition of crumbled goat cheese, grated Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
• Bake until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, 11 to 13 minutes. Cut into squares and serve immediately.
