BRUSSELS SPROUTS PIZZA CARBONARA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475˚ F. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven.
• For the béchamel, pour the milk into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk the flour into the butter and cook for 2 minutes, whisking almost constantly. Whisk in the hot milk, switch to a wooden spoon and simmer, stirring constantly, for 2 to 5 minutes, until thick enough to leave a trail when you run your finger down the back of a spoon. Cook for one more minute. Off the heat, stir in the ricotta, egg yolks, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium (10- to 11-inch) sauté pan, add the pancetta and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until half-cooked. Transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
• Flip over two sheet pans and put 12-by-18-inch pieces of parchment paper on each pan. Roll and stretch 2 of the pizza doughs into a 9- or 10-inch circle (they don't want to be perfect!) on the parchment papers. Leaving a 1-inch border, spread 1/2 cup of the béchamel on each pizza and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan, 2 tablespoons of the Pecorino and a quarter of the pancetta. In a medium bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle the two pizzas evenly with half of the Brussels sprouts. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the crust is nicely browned, including the bottom. Cut each pizza into 6 wedges with a large chef's knife and serve hot. Repeat for the remaining two pizzas.

• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir pancetta until fat has been released, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer pancetta to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Pour remaining 5 teaspoons olive oil into the same skillet; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add Brussels sprouts to garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until sprouts begin to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer sprouts and garlic to a bowl and crumble cooled pancetta over the mixture. Add mozzarella cheese and fennel seed; toss to coat. Place pizza crust onto a baking sheet and spread Brussels sprouts mixture atop pizza crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 10 minutes.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS PIZZA WITH PROSCIUTTO AND BROWN SUGAR-BALSAMIC ONIONS

Steps:

• Set pizza dough out to come to room temperature while other ingredients are prepared.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Toss Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until browned and tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven. Increase heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook onion in the hot oil, stirring often, until very soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook for 2 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened and rich in color, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Form dough into a 14-inch wide circle. Brush remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil evenly over the dough. Arrange onions, Brussels sprouts, and prosciutto over top and sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and feta cheeses.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is browned and a bit crispy and the cheeses are melted, 13 to 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle with thyme and cut into 8 slices to serve.

BACON AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray dark 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.

• In medium bowl, beat honey and lemon juice with whisk. Toss with apple to coat. Set aside.
• Unroll dough; place in pan. Starting at center, press out dough to edges of pan. Bake about 7 minutes or until edges of crust just begin to turn golden brown. Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook Brussels sprouts mixture over medium-high heat about 5 minutes or until crisp-tender and beginning to brown. Remove from heat; set aside.
• Top partially baked crust with apple slices in single layer, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges. Discard any extra honey mixture. Divide Brussels sprout mixture evenly over apples. Sprinkle with bacon and cheese.
• Bake 8 to 12 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cut and serve immediately.
