Description
A straightforward recipe for a savory pizza using pumpkin puree as a base sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (12 inch)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled cooked sausage or bacon (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh sage leaves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a small bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth. This is your sauce.
- Spread the pumpkin sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border for the edge.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Distribute the cooked sausage or bacon, if using, over the cheese.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the fresh sage leaves over the top.
- Slice and serve hot.
Notes
- You can substitute goat cheese for some of the mozzarella for a tangier flavor.
- If you do not have fresh sage, use 1/2 teaspoon dried rubbed sage mixed into the sauce.
