ESBS: His and Her Pizza

Pin It PIN IT!

My husband and I are complete opposites. He’s a saver, I’m a spender. He loves technology, I loathe it. He’s a runner, I’m a swimmer. He’s allergic to dairy, I LIVE on cheese and ice cream. He has patience, I do not. The list could go on. But the most profound change, the change that *might* just tear us apart. (Kidding, but you get the point of it’s importance).

He hates goat cheese, and I love it.

Gasp. However, we find a way to make it work. (aka, I eat enough goat cheese for two people). So on those days I’m craving a goat cheese pizza, for example, I have to customize it so only half of the pizza is covered in this glorious cheese. And if one little nugget of goat cheese touches E’s side, well, then all hell breaks loose. Safe to say, I’ve gotten really good at making his and her pizzas.

My half has goat cheese, carmelized onions, tomatoes, garlic, basil and mushrooms. His half has mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, carmelized onions and basil. Sort of similar in look but totally different in taste. I would say my half was the best, but I’m partial to goat cheese. (PST. It was the best!)

His and Her Pizza

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 large pizza crust
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 3/4 cup of spicy pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup of goat cheese
  • 4 slices of fresh mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • Basil leaves for taste

How to Make It:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small sauce pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Add garlic. Cook onion and garlic until lightly brown and caramelized. Proceed to not eat it by the spoonful.

  • Spread sauce on the pizza crust. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and cheese. Add additional basil leaf and bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.

You honestly can’t go wrong with goat cheese and pizza.  NOM.

    He doesn't like goat cheese?!  Blasphemy!  But the his & her idea is great!

    I'd eat the goat cheese half too!  Just throwing my two cents into the mix - in case your husband cares what my opinion is!

    This sounds delicious. My husband doesn't like goat cheese or mushrooms. Our split pizza would look just like this one. On another note - isn't the smell of sauteed or grilled onions just one of the greatest smells ever?

    So cute, a win win pizza for sure!  I'd probably steal a piece from your side though.  =)
