Corn, Bacon and Pine Nut Pizza - a white cheese pizza topped with sweet corn, smoky bacon and pine nuts for a delicious flavor combination.
Pizza night is a favorite in our house. Everyone can pick their favorite toppings and the possibilities are endless. This version is simple yet the flavor is anything but simple. The grilled corn is sweet. The bacon is smoky and salty. The pine nuts are buttery and provide a little crunch. Then layer these toppings on the crust topped with fontina and mozzarella cheese. I'm loving these flavors.
Easy Preparation
This pizza starts with a thin crust. Shape the dough into a rectangle on a greased sheet pan. Allow the dough to come to room temperature first. This will help the dough relax so it doesn't pull back as you shape it.
Next, spread the fontina and mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. Top with the corn, bacon, and pine nuts. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with extra pine nuts and scallions.
The sweetness of the corn and the smokiness of the bacon is a delicious combination. This may become a new favorite of your family. If you try this recipe, please leave a comment below and tag me on Instagram @mycasualpantry so I can see your pizza creation.
