Recipe Box, Queso Pizza with Bacon and Corn

the Painted Apron

I have been on a flatbread, open face, tartine, pizza kind of kick lately…

Unexpected combinations piled high on a crust

Great straight from the oven or reheated the next day, a flatbread, open face, tartine, pizza type dish is a great way to get your veggies, protein, and carbs all in one delicious bite

I started out by baking my crust~my current favorite is Pillsbury thin crust pizza crust refrigerated dough~

Smearing it with a head of roasted garlic and then spreading with a thin layer of Queso cheese sauce or dip

Then I topped it with cooked fresh corn {white and yellow} cut from the cob and green onions

and bacon, roasted in the oven and cut into 1 inch pieces

So simple, but different enough to be exciting!

It’s kinda fun if you can cut the corn so it stays together in larger pieces

This Queso pizza would be outstanding with sausage or chorizo too~
