Don’t you love pizza?

Me, too.

I especially love those little pre-made pizza crusts. They’re perfect for one, two or served at a tapas-style gathering.

Open your refrigerator, pull out a few items, or a lot, if that’s your style, top and bake.

Here’s what I found in my ‘fridge last night for my pizza.

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made small pizza crust
  • 3 Tablespoons of herb goat cheese
  • 2 Teaspoons jalapeno infused olive oil, made ahead
  • 2 slices of roasted red pepper, or four small pieces
  • 2 Medjool dates, pit removed, torn in pieces
  • 1 egg
  • Black pepper
  • Bottarga
  • 1 sprig fresh mint

Directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place pre-made pizza on paper-lined baking sheet. Spread jalapeno olive oil on pizza.
  • Spread goat cheese around the pizza, like a ring around the edges, keep it in chunks to support the egg.
  • Arrange the roasted pepper and dates on the pizza.
  • Season with black pepper.
  • Bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 minutes.
  • While the pizza is baking, chop the mint.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven.
  • Using a microplane or small grater, shave Bottarga over the entire pizza. Go ahead, be generous.
  • Slice and serve immediately.
