ingredients

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ pound pizza dough, at room temperature
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
small shallots, thinly sliced
cloves garlic, grated
1 tbsp thyme leaves
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 pinch kosher salt
1 pinch black pepper
1½ cups shredded brussels sprouts
½ cup grated manchego for parmesan cheese
1½ cups shredded Castello® Havarti creamy cheese
4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped

preparation

Preheat the oven to 450° F. Grease a large baking sheet with olive oil.

In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, the honey, balsamic vinegar, shallot, garlic, thyme, and a pinch each of red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

In a separate bowl, toss together the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the brussels sprouts, parmesan, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

On a lightly floured surface, push/roll the dough out until it is pretty thin (about a 10-12 inch circle). Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.

Spread the dough with the olive oil/balsamic herb mix. Add the Castello Creamy Havarti cheese, then layer the brussels sprouts over the cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted.

Meanwhile, cook the bacon until crisp. Top the pizza with the crispy bacon and freshly shaved parmesan. Slice and enjoy!
