Brussels sprouts make for a crispy, chewy pizza topping. Lemon slices, ever so slightly caramelized, add zing.

Time 25m

Yield Makes one 12-inch pizza

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 pound store-bought pizza dough
3 ounces lightly salted fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
1 1/2 ounces finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese (about 2/3 cup)
3 cups packed brussels sprout leaves (from about 1/2 pound)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
5 paper-thin lemon slices, cut into half-moons (from 1/2 lemon)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Brush a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 teaspoon oil. Press dough flat in skillet, spreading to edge (if it retracts, let rest 5 minutes before continuing). Brush a 1-inch border around edge with 1 teaspoon oil.
  • Scatter mozzarella and half the Pecorino evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edge.
  • Toss brussels sprouts with remaining Pecorino, remaining 2 teaspoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Scatter sprout mixture over cheeses, and top with lemon.
  • Cook over medium-high heat until bottom is golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to oven, and bake until edges of sprouts start to char, edge of crust is golden, and dough is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Season with pepper.

The pizza was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

I found the lemon flavor to be a bit too strong. Next time I'll use less lemon juice.

This was a great way to use up leftover Brussels sprouts. I added some bacon and it was even better!

I'm not usually a fan of Brussels sprouts, but this pizza changed my mind! The lemon and cheese really mellowed out the flavor.
