Pie. I love it! I'll take it over cake any day of the week. With tomorrow being Pie Day and all, I thought that I would share a pie recipe for today's Golden Blossom Honey post. Since I just shared one for Valentine's Day, I figured it was too soon to toss another your way. Instead, I want you all to check out my second favorite kind of pie... Pizza Pie! If you want a super quick and easy pizza to toss together for the day, grab this Caramelized Onion and Red Bell Pepper Pizza for 3.14.
Don't let the lack of sauce fool you. This pizza is packed full of flavor! What intrigued me about this recipe was the use of goat cheese and pine nuts, two things I have never had on my pizza before. I'm usually a mozzarella girl, but I am totally digging the punch the goat cheese adds to the overall flavor and the pine nuts pull it all together with an extra hit of earthy goodness.
Pizza is a fabulous way to get your geek on and celebrate pie day, but be a little extra and check out the other pies that Golden Blossom Honey has on their recipe page for dessert. Who says you have to stop with just 1 pie tomorrow? The more the merrier, right!?

What are your favorite pizza toppings?
My daughter thinks goat cheese is the best thing since sliced strawberries (I can't say bread because it's not her fave ;) ). I love that it has pine nuts.
ReplyDeleteI have a newfound love of goat cheese, having only recently used it in a pasta dish from a grocery store flyer recipe. Now, I can't get enough, so I totally agree with your daughter. And sliced strawberries are pretty good too, but bread is a little higher on my list.
DeleteI'd eat that one gladly without the cheese! What are those braided pastries next to it? I think I'd like those. I haven't eaten pizza in years as I hate vegetarian cheese, but while I used to make it I'd usually put grated carrots and red onions on it when I had nothing else in the fridge. I also used to mix some defrosted spinach with some cream cheese and garlic and an egg and some oats and spread that on pizza crust.
ReplyDeleteThose are just braided garlic bread sticks. I buy them from the freezer section when I don't feel like making my own garlic bread.
DeleteI don't cook with spinach often because Jason doesn't like it, but I do have them put fresh spinach on my pizza when we go to the make your own pizza place down the road for dinner occasionally. I have never tried grated carrots on pizza though. I bet I'd like that!
Carrots are good on pizza when you have nothing else in the pantry LOL Just grate them, boil them for five minutes with garlic, and then season them and put them on pizza with cheese and onions. When we had nothing to eat during bombings and wars, carrots saved our hungry buts :) We also pretended that zuccinni was fruit when we did not have any real fruit. We would boil diced zucchinni for five minutes with some sugar, cool it down and mix in a packet of some instant powdered juice, like pineapple or strawberry and pretend it was really that fruit LOL These days, I use millet as my poverty and apocalypse food, as it can be prepared both savoury and sweet and is filled with vitamins and minerals.
DeleteMy favorite pizzas are with some fresh mozarella or even ricotta. My brother does make a similar pizza to above because he's allergic to cow's milk. It's tasty but he add a balsamic glaze for an extra punch. It's yummy!
ReplyDeleteOoh, balsamic glaze sounds awesome! I try to limit my dairy consumption because it messes with my IBD, but cheese on pizza is an absolute must for me and I'll deal with the consequences of my choice later LOL
DeleteLooks delicious! I love the teddy bear honey. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Marisa!
DeletePie day snuck up on me with all the excitement in the world. It still will be a fun day to eat al kinds of pies and my son likes apple.
ReplyDeleteApple pie is my favorite, next to pecan. With the quarantine in place, it was a good day to stay in and make pies with the family :)
DeleteI've tried the Boboli crust and it's not bad. I like peppers, onions, black olives and mushrooms on my pizza.
ReplyDeleteI love all of those things on my pizza too. The girls hate mushrooms on theirs, so I usually have to just put that on half the pizza.
DeleteThis would be a perfect dinner! We love to have pizza nights. I love the toppings here!
ReplyDeletePizza nights are the best nights!
DeleteLooks good
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam :)
DeleteI love trying unique pizzas. This one has a lot of my favorite things especially goat cheese!
ReplyDeleteYes, the goat cheese was a fun touch to the recipe!
DeleteNever heard of pine nuts being in one before. Not that I eat them, but it is still an interesting combo.
ReplyDeleteMe either, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked them on there!
DeleteWow looks so yummy.
ReplyDeleteTry the omelet quesadilla is so good.
Olga.
Absolutely I will!
DeleteThat looks incredible! I adore pizza that is out of the ordinary. This one looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri :)
DeleteWe almost always have pizza over here every week, but we haven't tried this combo yet. It looks good. Thanks for the recipe. -LYNNDEE
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynndee!
DeleteOhh now this sounds really interesting. What an amazing mix of flavours used to make it all come together as well, I would love to know what it tastes like.
ReplyDeleteIf you try the recipe, let me know what you think :)
DeleteI love a delicious carmelized onion pizza. The addition of red bell pepper must be irresistible! I should try it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do!
DeleteThis does look so great! I like Greek pizza: Onions, Garlic, Feta Cheese, and Kalamata Olives, and Roasted Red Pepper. Close to this.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds yum! I've never done feta or kalamata olives on pizza, but I think I should try it sometime to see if I like it as much as I liked this one.
DeleteI can eat them all! It's a perfect recipe during a lock down like this, Theresa.. Hope all is well amidst the COVID - 10 outbreak..
ReplyDeleteIt is so perfect to make when you have to stay inside. All is well here. I hope you are staying safe and sound as well!
DeleteI'm not a fan of pizza, but it looks like I'll be enjoying this! - Rai Marfil
ReplyDeleteI hope you do like it!
DeleteThanks! I hope you try the recipe :)
ReplyDeleteHey Theresa! I LOVE red pepper and caramaleeeee onions. Put them on a pizza and YUM. Or even a sub roll. I'll take that too. So good. So yum. But what I have never done is a video/post of those two together so thank you for the inspiration and jumping off point.
