Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

5 thick slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 unbaked pizza crust
1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup chopped fresh asparagus
1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
1 (11 ounce) log fresh chevre (goat cheese)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Place bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for a few minutes to release most of the grease, but do not cook until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain.
Spread the pizza crust out on a pizza pan or large baking sheet. Top with mozzarella cheese, bacon pieces, asparagus, and tomatoes. Dot with goat cheese, then season with red pepper flakes and black pepper.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the crust is golden brown underneath when you lift it up to take a peek. Let cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

For a crispier crust, preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the pizza.
Use a pizza stone or baking sheet for a more evenly cooked crust.
Don't overcrowd the pizza with toppings. This will make it soggy.
Bake the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
