Herb and Goat Cheese Pizza


Herb and Goat Cheese Pizza
March, 2007

Serves 8 / This herby pizza combines the earthy essence of sage, rosemary, and thyme in an aromatic topping. Sage and rosemary impart a slightly piney flavor with citrus undertones. And thyme, with a trace of clove and pepper, enhances almost any food. Prep tip: Look for time-saving, premade, trans-fat-free pizza dough and crusts in the refrigerated section of your natural market.

1 10-ounce whole-wheat pizza crust or prepared whole-wheat pizza dough
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 large or 3 medium Roma tomatoes, sliced
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
12 fresh sage leaves, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon snipped fresh rosemary

1. Preheat oven to 450°. Place prepared pizza crust on a baking sheet.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté onion for 5–8 minutes or until tender. Spread onions evenly over pizza crust, then top with tomato slices, spreading evenly to the edges. Top with cheese. Bake for 5 minutes, then sprinkle sage, thyme, and rosemary evenly over pizza. Return to oven and bake for 5–7 minutes more, or until tomatoes are hot and cheese has melted.
