Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough
  • 1 pounds mozzarella torn into small pieces
  • 4 slices thick cut bacon cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced or use grilled onions for way more flavor
  • 2 cups brussels sprouts outer leaves removed, sliced in half

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees F. and have a half-sheet sized baking sheet ready.
  • In a frying pan on medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp and remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain. Reserve the excess grease in the pan.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and saute the onions in the reserved bacon grease until soft and it begins to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from pan with slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Stretch the pizza dough out onto the baking sheet, pressing it into the corners and drizzle with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. Prick the dough with the tines of a fork and par-bake for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the dough from the oven and sprinkle with the torn mozzarella, bacon, caramelized onions and sliced brussels sprouts.
  • Cook the pizza for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the brussels sprouts just begin to brown on the edges.
  • Remove and let set for 2-3 minutes before slicing to serve.
