Goat Cheese Mashed Potato Pizza With Savory Shrimp Topping Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the shrimp: In a large, shallow bowl, combine the shrimp with the olive oil, oregano, thyme, basil, and salt, turning to coat and flavor well. Marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Heat a skillet or a saute pan large enough to hold the shrimp in 1 layer, and spoon 1 tablespoon of the oil from the marinade into the skillet. Carefully arrange the shrimp in the skillet and, over high heat, saute just to color, 30 to 40 seconds per side. (Do not overcook, as it will continue to cook on top of the pizza dough.) Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool. Season lightly with salt before arranging on the pizza dough.
• Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the dough to 4 (8-inch) rounds, with the outer border a little thicker than the inner circle. Brush each of the rounds with the chili oil.
• Layer the pizza: Start with the mozzarella, then the Fontina, tomato, onion, shrimp, goat cheese, and red and yellow peppers. Gently slide the pizza onto the baking stone and bake until the crust is golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Transfer the pizza onto a firm surface and cut into slices with a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife. Serve immediately.
• In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4-cup warm water.
• In a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour and the salt. Add the oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 cup of water and mix on low speed until the dough comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl and clusters around the dough hook, about 5 minutes. (The pizza dough can also be made in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse once or twice, add the remaining ingredients, and process until the dough begins to form a ball.)
• Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled).
• Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest 15 to 20 minutes. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
• Yield: 4 (8-inch) pizzas

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spread Barbeque sauce onto Boboli.
• Sprinkle on goat cheese.
• Add shrimp, chopped bell pepper and red onion.
• Top with shredded cheese of your choice.
• Sprinkle Old Bay Seasoning on top of pizza.
• Heat on center rack in oven for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the potatoes, garlic and 1 tablespoon salt in a large pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until very tender.
• Drain the potatoes and garlic and process them together through a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade set on top of a bowl. While the potatoes are still hot, stir in the goat cheese, butter, sour cream, half-and-half, 4 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into a 9-by-12-by-2-inch oval baking dish, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the Parmesan on top and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Prepare the dough and roll it out according to directions in basic dough recipe. While dough is rising, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel the potatoes, and cut them crosswise into slices 1/8-inch thick. Toss the slices with 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil and place them in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake until the slices are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. When the dough is rolled out, arrange the potato slices over the dough in concentric circles. Season with the salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the crumbled goat cheese and rosemary. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top, and bake until the crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cut into wedges, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat; add onion and season with a pinch of salt. Cook and stir onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir flour with the onion; cook, stirring continually, for 1 minute.
• Pour 1 cup milk into the saucepan while stirring; add goat cheese and stir to melt. Stir remaining milk into the mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, and cook until you reach your desired texture, 5 to 10 minutes more; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, bring milk, onion and butter to boil in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat.
• Drain potatoes and return to pot. Add hot milk mixture and mash. Add goat cheese and mash until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Before serving, stir over low heat until heated through.)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook bacon in a large deep skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• Spread the pizza dough out on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spread mashed potatoes over the dough, leaving a small crust around the outside if you want. Sprinkle the cheese and bacon evenly over the potatoes.
• Bake the pizza in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes, then slice into wedges and top each one with a small dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 12 minutes; drain well. Return to same pan. Add cheese, 1/4 cup milk, and butter; mash until smooth. Mix in chopped sage; season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat, thinning with more milk, if too thick.) Mound potatoes in bowl. Garnish with fresh sage sprigs.

• Boil potatoes in salted water until tender.
• Drain and peel when cool enough to handle.
• Boil garlic with potatoes until soft.
• Remove and peel.
• Mash potatoes with garlic, cream, butter and cheese.
• Stir in scallions.
• Spoon into buttered casserole dish.
