Shaved Asparagus Pizza

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 1 pre-made pizza crust
• extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling the dough
• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 5 1/4 ounces weight boursin cheese (or similar herb and garlic spreadable cheese)
• fresh cracked black pepper

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 450°f.
• 2 if not already shaped, stretch your pizza dough into a large circle 12-16 inches in diameter and place on your pizza pan or stone. drizzle dough with a thin stream of olive oil.
• 3 slice fresh mozzarella as thinly as possible and arrange in a single layer over dough.
• 4 using a vegetable peeler shave your asparagus into thin ribbons. use the entire bunch, as you might only get 3 or 4 good ribbons from each spear. pile asparagus shavings on top of the mozzarella. the asparagus will cook down so you want to use more than you think is necessary.
• 5 top asparagus with several cranks of black pepper and dot generously with boursin cheese. (i tend to use 1/4-1/2 a package per pizza.).
• 6 bake on pizza stone or baking sheet for 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
