Chef Daves Grilled Strawberry And Goat Cheese Dessert Pizza Recipes

STRAWBERRY GOAT CHEESE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Heat vinegar in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Simmer until reduced by about half, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Prepare a grill for high heat. Place bread slices on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
• Combine strawberries and thyme in a small bowl and set aside.
• Grill bread on the preheated grill until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
• Spread goat cheese on toasted bread. Add black pepper, salt, and reduced vinegar to the strawberry mixture. Spoon over the goat cheese topped bruschetta. Garnish with additional thyme.

BLACK FOREST DESSERT PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Combine 1/4 cup sugar and the cherries in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until thick and syrupy, 15 to 18 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and almond extract.
• Stretch and pat the dough into a 10- to 11-inch round and put on a baking sheet. Brush with the butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the remaining sugar. Bake until golden brown all over, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Spread the cherry compote on the pizza crust and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Return to the oven to lightly melt the chocolate, about 1 minute. Whip the cream with the remaining tablespoon sugar until the cream is thick but does not hold a peak. Drizzle the sweetened cream over the pizza and sprinkle with grated chocolate if using. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

PIZZA GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the butter, Parmesan, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper. Brush one side of each slice of bread with this mixture.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lay one piece of the bread, butter-side down, in the skillet. Spread 1 tablespoon marinara sauce on the bread and layer on the mozzarella, provolone, pepperoni, pepper slices, olives and basil leaves. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up. Toast in the skillet, flipping as needed, until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from the skillet and slice in half. Serve with the remaining 1/4 cup marinara on the side.

GRILLED DESSERT PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high heat. Try to get it as hot as possible (500 degrees F). Stretch the pizza dough to fit a baking sheet. Brush the grill and the dough with oil. Slide and flip the pizza dough oil-side down directly on the grill. Grill until the crust is cooked through and golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side, oiling the other side of the dough before flipping.
• Remove the pizza dough from the grill and, while it is still hot, spread on the chocolate-hazelnut spread, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust. Top with coconut, bananas, nuts and dried fruit. Cut into squares and serve immediately.
