Goat Cheese Pizza

Goat Cheese Pizza is a creamy and delicious white pizza. I added chimichurri to make this pizza bright and herbaceous, and honestly, you have to try it out!! This is the perfect accompaniment to grilled kebabs on a breezy summer night.

To be honest, I didn’t like goat cheese until I was about 30, and then something just clicked in me. I always liked hard goat cheeses like the Spanish Cheese “Drunken Goat”, but it took me a little bit longer to like Chevre, the creamy goat cheese that most people are familiar with. Now that I have seen the light, there is no turning back. I love experimenting with flavors that compliment the goat cheese, especially in winter when I pair it with candied fruit and nuts. This recipe for Goat Cheese Pizza is a great “all year long” recipe with or without the chimichurri. I love how chimichurri adds so much flavor, so if you like herbs, give it a try!
