Week 9 Recipe 7: 3 Cheese and Nectarine White Pizza

This recipe was from Half Baked Harvest, and since I was assistant only, I see now as I read the recipe for the first time that we missed a few of the optional ingredients, for convenience and expense.  Ha.  Strikethrough the crushed red pepper flakes, fresh chives, blackberries, and (for drizzling at the end) balsamic vinegar and honey.  😖  Turned out pretty good even without them.

Here's what we DID do:

Rolled out 1/2 pound pizza dough, and spread olive oil over it (leaving 1 inch border).  

Sprinkled grated garlic and basil leaves over it, then topped with the three cheeses--blue, mozzarella, and parmesan.  

We then layered sliced nectarines on top, drizzled with olive oil, and seasoned with salt and pepper, and baked it about 12 minutes at 450.

I thought it was really interesting, with the unusual flavor of the blue cheese, plus nectarine.  Not exactly comfort food because of the unusual flavor, but it definitely felt like a dietary splurge with the heavy cheese and store-bought (do people say that anymore?!) dough.  I'd have it again, and Toria agreed with my score of 8/10.  Probably not the sort of thing I would go to the trouble of making if in the mood for cheesy pizza, unless I were having a friend over--in which case it would probably be a great choice--relatively quick assembly, tasty, and interesting.
