I served this simple appetizer at a recent party and it was hands-down the favorite dish all night. Proof again, that simple can be scrumptious!
Ingredients:
Pre-made pizza dough (recipe found separately on this site.)
Truffel oil, for drizzling
8 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced
4 oz. prosciutto slices
1 bunch thin asparagus
1/4 cup grated pecorino romano cheese
2 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
- Place pizza crust on parchment paper.
- Lightly brush pizza crusts with truffle oil.
- Arrange one layer mozzarella cheese over crusts.
- Top with layer of prosciutto.
- Arrange asparagus spears over prosciutto.
- Top with both grated cheeses.
- Slide crusts onto pizza stone (or on tray on lowest rack).
- Cook until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly, about 5-10 minutes. Check frequently to avoid burning.
- Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes.
- Drizzle with extra truffle oil and slice into thin squares.
