Experience the Rainbow.........

Meyer Lemon Tarte with Skittles and Dark Chocolate

Ho, Ho, Ho…

Sorry this is not really a pizza,

but I reverted to my French training. 

Pate sucree, baked and topped with

 vanilla crème patisserie, fresh strawberries,

dark chocolate ganache drizzle and

chopped Hershey’s white chocolate candy cane kisses.

Did not last long……

Oh my………

Oh my...........

The comments are endless......

from showers to.....

on you....

on me...

but it is a registered trade mark....

would understand

Potato, Bacon, Cheddar, Sour Cream, Scallion Pizza.....

This is an adaptation of Jim Lahey’s potato pizza……

http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/06/jim-laheys-potato-pizza/

I was skeptical at first……….

But his bread and pizza are legendary…..

I followed his recipe…

But I finished the pie with cheddar,

bacon, sour cream and scallions…..

As if it were a baked potato….

Nice………

 Ingredients....

Bacon, cheddar, scallions,

sour cream, potato

 Red Bliss in a brine to remove starch...

My wife commented…

Best pie ever

"company"

I do not disagree
What about the others I have made?

White Pizza With Spinach Salad.....

I have a recent addiction to white pizza......

No surprise I do not like cooked tomatoes....

I was thinking about a Greek pizza…..

But my pal does not like feta…..

Ok, white pizza with a classic spinach salad…….

Spinach, sautéed mushrooms, pistachios, Meyer lemon,

onion and garlic, chopped egg, Kalamata olives,

shredded mozzarella....

 Crisp bacon.....

Cooked pie topped with shredded mozzarella

with sautéed onions and

garlic infused white sauce......

  Topped with spinach, bacon, egg,

mushrooms, pistachios, olives and a little Meyer lemon......

My pal’s wonderful spinach salad.....

with....

bacon, egg, spinach, tomatoes,

red cabbage and carrots.....

White Pizza with Leeks and Arugula.....

Eruca sativa....

rocket, roquette, rucola or arugula......
as you may have noticed

 I always have rocket arugula on hand. 

I like the bitter taste in conjunction with other greens. 

But in many ways I view it as a garnish. 

 When a pizza needs a splash of color....

 arugula fills a convenient void……

For this pizza I used the leftover leek from a previous pie……

I topped the pie with shredded whole milk mozzarella

and made a leek infused white sauce………

Rocket for color

 but I should have turned the leaves

 over to make pretty…..
