It's the possibilities in that blank crust that make pizza so much fun. Lately, we've been obsessed with white pizza. Brush the dough with olive oil, sprinkle with mozzarella, and then let the fun begin. Without the acidity of the tomato sauce to contend with, you can really experiment. In this version, asparagus adds freshness and a hit of color, goat cheese brings a creamy tang, and fingerling potatoes (yes, potatoes) round out the pie with their richness.
Ingredients
Makes 4 main-course servings or 6 appetizer servings
Step 1
Place potatoes in small saucepan. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Sprinkle with salt. Bring to boil and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Cool. Cut potatoes into thin slices.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle rimless baking sheet with cornmeal. Roll and stretch pizza dough to 16x11-inch oval. Transfer to baking sheet. Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil and garlic in small bowl. Brush garlic oil over dough. Sprinkle 3/4 of green onions over, then mozzarella, leaving 1/2-inch plain border. Top with potato slices and goat cheese. Toss asparagus and 1 tablespoon oil in medium bowl. Scatter asparagus over pizza. Sprinkle with Parmesan, then lightly with salt and generously with pepper.
Step 3
Bake pizza until crust is browned and asparagus is tender, about 18 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Sprinkle with remaining green onions. Cut into pieces.

Back to TopI've been making this recipe as part of our Friday night pizza line-up for years now, and we love it. I've made it for friends several times as well, and it's always a hit. The other night I made it with gorgonzola instead of goat cheese and it was slightly salty, but otherwise tasty. Love this recipe!

我一直在做这个披萨好几年了and my family loves it. I always make two or three different types of pizza, usually on a Friday night, and we eat the leftovers throughout the weekend. This one is part of our regular mix. I love adding a bit of truffle salt just before eating.

A phenomenal and fairly easy recipe, made with asparagus from my garden! My only error was using store-bought dough which puffed up, though I rolled it out with a pin . I feel this topping cries for a thin crust pizza and, next time, will try making it from scratch, according to the link.

This is quite easily my favorite pizza recipe. I use caramelized onions and add a touch of Parmesan and Gruyere, drizzled with a touch of olive oil before serving. It's splendid!

This was delicious! Followed the recipe as written, though didn't have the green onions on hand so upped the garlic. My husband and I loved it! A very satisfying vegetarian meal on a cold Sunday evening.

Per reviewers, used carmelized onions, cooked hot Italian sausage. Did not have goat cheese so subbed fresh mozzarella. Asparagus were steamed very crisp. For pizza crust used, Wolfgang Puck's recipe. You can't beat it. http://www.wolfgangpuck.com/recipes/pizza/All-Purpose-Pizza-Dough

This pizza was amazing! We substituted caramelized onions for the green onions and red potatoes for the fingerling (we couldn't find fingerlings in the grocery store). Also added some turkey sausage which turned out amazing! Will definitely be making this again!

We love this pizza. I have my own pizza crust recipe that I've used for years but this topping combination is special. Always gets rave reviews from guests. I do caramelize onions in place of the green onions and adding a drizzle of honey or balsamic as they come out of the oven really puts this over the top!

this was delicious! we used sliced yukon golds instead of fingerlings (still par-boiled) and added a thin layer prosciutto between the mozz and potato/goat cheese layers. i'm sure it would still be delicious vegetarian, but the prosciutto really put it over the top!

The potatoes and goat cheese combo make this recipe for me. The generous sprinkle of pepper at the end is key. Absolutely delicious. We will definitely be making this again.
