Grilled Pizza

Tonight I thought I would try something easy but always delicious for my sunday night dinner for one. So taking a little bit of inspiration from my new world cuisine class, I made a grilled pizza, but instead of topping it with new world flavors I decided to stick to some traditional Italian ingredients.

Grilled Prosciutto  Pizza

1 pre-made whole wheat pizza dough
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
3-4 slices prosciutto
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup arugula
1/2 small shallot - thinly sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
olive oil

Heat your grill on its highest settings. After rolling out pizza dough to desired thickness, rub both sides with oil and place on grill and cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until lightly charred. After flipping dough to second side begin to top pizza. Start with a generous layer of ricotta, followed by the prosciutto and finely sprinkle park cheese over the top. Close lid of grill and cook until cheese has begun to melt and pizza is fully cooked. Before serving toss arugula, shallot, lemon juice and a small amount of olive oil in a bowl and pile on the middle of the pizza.

Between babysitting and say goodbye to my friends who are already leaving to go back to school, this weekend seemed to fly by. Only 2 more weeks of work and then I will be able to enjoy a long weekend in Maine before the frantic mess that will be me attempting to pack for school. All my friends and I are ready for the school year to begin, but first we need to finish these last 18 days of the blog and the 20 days left till move in. So till next time,
Keep Cooking Brooklyn!
