Ingredients
Scale
For the Pizza Base:
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
For the Toppings:
- 8 oz brie cheese, sliced
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- ½ cup candied pecans, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- Pinch of salt (to enhance flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will help your pizza crust bake evenly and become perfectly crispy.
- Prepare the Pizza Crust: Brush the pre-made pizza crust with olive oil to enhance its flavor and ensure a crunchy texture after baking.
- Layer the Brie: Evenly arrange the slices of brie cheese over the pizza crust, covering the surface generously to create a creamy base when melted.
- Add Raspberries: Scatter fresh raspberries over the brie. Their tartness adds a lovely contrast to the rich cheese.
- Sprinkle Candied Pecans and Rosemary: Add chopped candied pecans for a sweet crunch and finely chopped rosemary to impart a fragrant herbal note.
- Drizzle with Honey: Drizzle honey (or maple syrup for vegan) evenly over the pizza to enhance sweetness and blend flavors.
- Bake: Place the pizza on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the brie is melted and bubbly, and the crust turns golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm, optionally garnished with extra rosemary.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup for honey to make this recipe vegan.
- Use a thin pizza crust for a crispier base, or a thick crust for a more filling dessert.
- Ensure the brie is cut into thin slices so it melts evenly.
- Keep an eye on the pizza while baking to prevent the crust or toppings from burning.
- Fresh rosemary works best; dried rosemary can be too overpowering.
