PIZZA TUESDAYS

Spicy shakshuka with cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, red bell peppers, Middle Eastern spices, feta, baked eggs, homemade za'atar pita chips, fresh parsley & mint I always get nervous about putting baked eggs on a pizza, because it's so hard to get the timing right. You want the eggs to be cooked, but also runny, but also you want the pizza crust to be cooked and not burnt. So if we're doing egg pizza, we usually go fried or poached or something else that can be made separately an

Jalapeño hummus, avocado smash with lemon juice & cilantro, feta, fresh radish slices, radish sprouts, chili flakes, everything bagel spice & fried eggs I don't care how basic it is, avocado toast is delicious. It's healthy, it's versatile, and we have been making it a LOT lately. Breakfast, lunch, whatever. Some people go for the avocado slices, but I prefer the smash. It lets you get away with different levels of avocado ripeness, and you can add some additional flavors int

Mexican street corn (with queso fresco, jalapeños & cilantro), parmesan-zucchini crisps, BBQ sauce This recipe is inspired by street fair snacking and summer produce. The cheesy street corn is salty and spicy, and it's going to be hard to let go of enough of the zucchini crisps to put them on a pizza. My mouth is watering just thinking back on it. And for the barbecue sauce, feel free to use whatever you have in your fridge at the time—we had some leftover pomegranate BBQ sau

Savory rhubarb-cranberry jam, caramelized onions, pan-fried chipotle goat cheese, walnuts, fresh thyme Fried goat cheese can be temperamental, but it's totally worth it for that crispy-on-the-outside, melty-on-the-inside result. A good trick is to keep it cold before frying it, so it doesn't start to melt prematurely and fall apart in the hot oil. Since you're going to be shaping the cheese discs with your hands, this might mean putting them back in the fridge for a bit after

Poached pear dumplings, blue cheese sauce with basil & walnuts, arugula, raspberries We’ve played around with using dumpling-style toppings on pizzas before (see: Samosa Pizza). It’s a bit decadent to have dough on dough, sure, but it’s also extra tasty! This time we wanted to sweeten the deal with some poached pears that are peeking out of the little dumpling blankets they’re in. It’s cozy and delicious. Recipe Ingredients: 1 ball of pizza dough flour for dusting semolina fl

Homemade tomato sauce (with anchovies, basil & garlic), fried polenta croutons, Danish Blue cheese, poached eggs, hazelnuts, sauteed tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, wilted frisee & radicchio Poached eggs are a really good alternative to the baked egg on a pizza. They may sound like they're more complicated, but poaching an egg is actually a lot simpler than you'd think. Plus, you don't have to worry about cooking your eggs at the same rate as your pizza dough and finding that

Hash with purple & orange sweet potatoes, chioggia beets, Swiss chard, edamame, yellow onion, leeks, garlic, paprika, cumin & turmeric, plus pumpkin seeds, cottage cheese & hollandaise sauce drizzle I can accept it: cottage cheese is not for everyone. I tried to sneak it in here, tucked away under all the colorful hash ingredients, but if you really feel that strongly about it, I guess I understand. Try a few dollops of goat cheese instead. For everyone else who is willing to

Shaved Pecorino Romano, sauteed broccolini, roasted mixed baby potatoes with rosemary, baked quail eggs, grated parmesan Recipe Ingredients: 1 ball of pizza dough flour for dusting semolina flour for pizza stone olive oil salt & pepper 1-2 bunches broccolini, stems trimmed 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped pinch of red pepper flakes 6-10 mixed baby potatoes (purple, red, yukon gold), sliced ¼-inch thick 2-3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced 6 quail eggs (you can use

Shredded fontina, asiago & parmesan cheese, roasted sugar snap peas with Maldon sea salt flakes, sesame sauce (rice vinegar, sesame oil, maple syrup, cayenne & soy sauce), eggplant “meatballs” (with bread crumbs, grated manchego, cilantro, garlic & eggs) Recipe Ingredients: 1 ball of pizza dough flour for dusting semolina flour for pizza stone olive oil salt & pepper ½-1 lb sugar snap peas Maldon sea salt flakes (or another fancy salt, like fleur de sel, or just regular

Apple-walnut charoset (with cinnamon, brown sugar & red wine), shredded Asiago cheese, vegetarian matzah balls, fresh parsley, horseradish, grated Parmesan We've made our Passover pizza once again. And once again, apologies if you were looking for an actual kosher-for-Passover dish. I couldn't bring myself to make matzah pizza instead of real dough pizza. Sorry. Like Oprah, I just love bread too much. But if you or your dinner companions are trying to be a little more authent
