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...
