Grilled Pizza!

I was trying to think of a fresh, quick, easy appetizer for summer. I came up with this grilled pizza perfect for entertaining or a quick dinner. 

Prosciutto, burrata cheese, over lemon arugula sprinkled with sea salt. It's the perfect combination of salty, creamy and fresh lemon. Burrata cheese is a type of softened, creamy mozzarella and you will fall in love with it! 

The second pizza is ricotta cheese and roasted heirloom tomatoes. These tomatoes are roasted until they are crunchy, sweet and full of garlic. 

Enjoy!

Grilled pizza with prosciutto, burrata cheese, over lemon arugula with sea salt. 

You will need:

• A stove top grill pan OR an outside grill

• 6 slices of prosciutto 

• 1 ball of burrata cheese, room temp   and drained. 

• half bag of arugula 

• juice of 1 lemon

• sea salt and cracked pepper

Separate the dough into 2 sections. Using a rolling pin and flour, roll the dough into a round pie shape. 

Heat the grill pan on a medium-low flame and grease the pain lightly with oil. 

Once hot, drizzle the dough with a bit of olive oil and place it oil side down. Grill about 6-7 minutes on each side, checking to make sure there are nice grill marks and that it isn't burning. Then flip. 

While the pizza is grilling, mix the arugula with the lemon juice and a dash of salt and pepper. 

Remove the pizza, add arugula and spoon the burrata cheese over it. Start to shred the prosciutto with your hands and place around the pizza. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and enjoy! Pairs great with a nice cold white wine!

You will need:

• A stovetop grill pan or outside grill

• 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese

• 1 package of small heirloom tomatoes

Start by adding the minced garlic to olive oil, add salt and pepper and let sit for 30 minutes to infuse the garlic flavor.

Foil a baking sheet, add tomatoes, and pour the olive oil garlic mixture on top. Roast for 1 hour until they are brown and garlicky. 

Heat your grill pan on medium low flame. Roll out the pizza dough again, drizzle with olive oil and place oil side down the grill. 

Grill for about 7 minutes each side. Check for good grill marks then flip.
