y’all…It’s pretty rare that I make something once and then immediately post, but I just can’t wait to get more ingredients, prepare again, take more photographs, and then post. Sometimes with my crazy life that can take weeks!
Can you guys tell asparagus is in season? I’ve been cooking with it so much these past couple weeks and coming up with some delicious recipes in the process.
P.S. they also tasted wonderful next to a pile of eggs and bacon for a delicious brunch.
I’m having a “shop the pantry” week at my home. Which means for the most part that I have to make meals out of what is in the pantry and freezer. I like this because it forces me to be a little more creative in the kitchen, as I’m almost always missing one important ingredient for recipes that I’ve already made. You could say I’m kind of addicted to grocery shopping- it’s one of my favorite things! I have a terrible habit of over buying, especially when I’m at stores that are far away from my small town, stores that have lots of goodies that I don’t normally have access to. I might need a intervention… BUT at least I give myself a timeout every couple of months, and use up all the random things I’ve bought!
Last night I looked in the pantry and saw that I had a Boboli Whole Wheat Pizza crust that needed to be used before it expired. My first thought was a traditional pizza, with all the delicious fixins, but then i realized I had no homemade sauce in the freezer, no pizza sauce, and no pizza type meat. So that idea went straight into the garbage. What I did have was mozzarella cheese, fresh asparagus from the produce stand, and a pizza crust. I’ve never actually had an asparagus white pizza before, but i’ve seen them on menus, and I’ve always wanted to try it!
I’m sure this is a little different from how a pizza joint would make it, but this what I had on hand, and it turned out DELICIOUS, and lightened up!
The absolute best part of this recipe? It looks and tastes like you probably spent at least an hour in the kitchen preparing such a delightful pie, but it took less than 30 minutes to prep and cook. Yay!
Also, I want to top this with some center cut bacon. How divine does that sound?
I’ll have more photographs of this soon, but for now I just took this one because I honestly did not know how it would come out, and figured I’d have to tweak a few things. I didn’t, but i’ll be gathering ingredients to make this again as soon as my grocery store time-out is over!
ENJOY!
Asparagus White Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 Whole Wheat Pre-made Pizza Crust , I use Boboli
- 10-12 Asparagus Spears
- 4.5 oz Shredded Light Mozzarella Cheese , I used Trader Joes Lite Mozz
- 2 tbs light cream cheese
- Garlic Salt
- Cooking spray , I prefer Olive Oil or Coconut Oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Lightly spray pizza crust with cooking spray, Lay on a cookie sheet or pizza stone, and prebake the crust for about 3 minutes.
- When your crust is done, remove from the oven and shmear your light cream cheese evenly across on top.
- Top with about half your mozzarella cheese, then asparagus, some garlic salt, and then the rest of the cheese. Lightly spray the top of the pizza with your cooking spray.
- Place back onto the cooking sheet or pizza stone and bake for about 12 minutes or until your cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cut into 4 slices.
- Enjoy!
When I put this into the weights watchers app it came to 12 points for 1/4th of the pie… not the 7 stated in the recipe but it was super yummy!
I’m sooo glad you enjoyed! You may have used different ingredients than I did, but I’ll double check my notes and make sure I didn’t make a mistake.
okay, so I am not even doing weight watchers, but after instagram stalking my sister, who is, i was somehow lead to your page and after stalking your beautiful pics of food i decided to put some of your recipes to test. I made individual pizzas for my family last night and made your white asparagus pizza for just myself. My family was getting annoyed with me for how many times i said, “MY pizza is SOOOOO good!” I made my boyfriend try it and he usually HATES white pizzas (which are my favorite) and even he said this morning, “Your pizza was actually really good!” LOL. Anyways, I didn’t have high expectations because I was skeptical that cream cheese could be enough for a good white pizza base but it definitely was! Im pretty sure I’ll be having this for lunch again today!
AND next on my list to try this weekend: Your Biscuits and Gravy Bake…..YUM!!!! I already got the ingredients!
Using cream cheese was a absolute accident! I was doing a “clean out fridge and pantry week” so I was so limited on ingredients and I was hungry! Haha when it came out of the oven I was already preparing to make a sandwich, but I was like OH MY GOSH! This is actually really, really good! I’m SO happy you gave it a try and your family liked it too! I hope you enjoy the Biscuits & Gravy Bake too! That is a serious family pleaser! Thanks Again for taking time to comment! I love feedback.
