Goat Cheese Pizza Recipe

Who says pizza has to be a heavy dish loaded with tomato sauce, a thick layer of mozzarella cheese, and various meat toppings? Warm spring weather is actually the perfect time to make pizza that is loaded with fresh vegetables. Pizza doughwhether you make your own or buyor opt for white, whole wheat or even cauliflower crust, is a great vehicle for as many different toppings as your imagination can conjure up. Let a trip to your local farmer's market dictate the toppings when you see what is available in seasonthat way you will be getting the freshest possible produce. Of course, it wouldn't be pizza (or nearly as delicious) without lots of glorious cheese. But instead of the standard mozzarella or red sauce, try mixing it up with a layer of fresh goat cheese. The goat cheese is softened and mixed with seasonings before being spread out on the dough. Add a layer of nutty fontina and a bit of salty parmesan or pecorino romano. Then, when the pizza has cooked, top it with some fresh crisp greens for the perfect bite.
