Had fun trying the 3 pizza ideas from Wine O’Clock wine bar in Yakima this morning. With champagne, of course.
The first one, Pear, bacon, gr. Onion, aged white cheddar was very tasty – we had tasted this one at the wine bar. Gave it an 8+
Pear Pizza
2nd pizza – sweet corn, bacon, gr. Onion, smoked provolone and at last minute decided the corn might make the pizza a little ‘sweeter’ than we would like, I added red pepper flakes – great addition! We gave this one an 8+ also.
Corn, Smk’d Provolone – ready for the oven
Baked
3rd pizza – Pesto, eggplant, mushroom (crimini), toasted pine nuts, mozz. And added red pepper flakes to this one also.
If you add eggplant to a pizza, it’s a good idea to salt it and allow to rest for 30 minutes to get rid of the moisture. I rinsed it well and broiled it. (my only complaint - I didn't slice enought eggplant, I would have like more)
Salted eggplany
Eggplant,’ shroom – ready for oven
Eggplant baked
I amazed myself by liking the eggplant/mushroom pizza the best!! I’m not a big fan of either, but the combinaton of the goodies on this one just put it over the top for me. Gave it a 9+ Roy gave a 10+
