Bachelor Night: Six Cheese White Pizza and Penguin Hockey

A few weeks ago, Hope went out for the evening.  I was going to perhaps go out with some friends as well, but I saw an opportunity to make something for dinner that only I like:  Six Cheese White Pizza.  An added plus was that the Penguin game was on (thank you for ending the lockout!).  So, I decided to stay home, have a few Sam Adams Winterfest brews, make a pie, and watch the game...

Here are the starting ingredients:


Yes, I know, store bought crust.  Usually it is strictly homemade around here but the Boboli, if you have not tried, is a pretty good stand in for sure.  If you notice in the right hand corner, the first ingredient:  enough garlic to knock a buzzard off a manure wagon, a dash of oregano, basil, and thyme, and olive oil to mix it all up.  I let this mix sit for an hour for the flavors to mingle.

Next, I spread the olive oil/garlic/herb mix thoroughly and uniformly over the top of the pizza crust...


Next, top with the Kraft Five Cheese Italian and a generous sprinkling of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (this is why Hope does not care for this pie...).  Then, on top, a generous helping of hot banana rings...


Into the oven, 15 minutes at 425, or until brown and bubbly on top...


A nice twist on this pie is to drizzle a small amount of Four Cheese red sauce on top.  It adds a unique flavor.  I did this with one slice and added fresh grated Parmesan to both.


With a beer, this was a perfect hockey night meal.  Unfortunately, the Penguins lost, but it was a nice night, all to myself...

As for the pie, you really should give this a try.  It is a nice change of pace from the usual traditional red sauce pizza.

Thanks for stopping by...
