1976. PARMESAN and RICOTTA CHEESE PIZZA with PISTACHIOS, BACON and MICROGREENS

pizza dough
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
4 strips applewood smoked bacon, sliced into 1-2″ strips
1/2 cup microgreens

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Prepare the dough and sprinkle a small amount of corn meal on a pizza stone or baking pizza pan to prevent the pizza from sticking. In a bowl combine together the ricotta, parmesan, olive oil, sea salt and pepper, mix well then place the mixture atop of the prepared pizza dough. Then layer with the bacon and half of the pistachios. Bake the pizza for 14-18 minutes until the dough is browned and the bacon is crispy. Before serving garnish with the remaining pistachios and the microgreens.
