Yield
1 pizza

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces KALTBACH Le Crémeux Cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 shallot, roughly chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 4 strips thick cut bacon
  • 11 ounces prepared pizza dough

Method

  1. Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Shred Le Crémeux cheese. Add 1 cup shredded cheese to food processor with heavy cream, shallot, salt and pepper. Process until well combined. Set aside, along with remaining cheese.
  3. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Place pineapple slices on parchment and bake 10 minutes until edges just begin to brown. Remove from oven.
  4. Cut bacon into ½-inch pieces and cook. Remove from pan and set aside.
