Best Grilled Summer Pizzette With Caramelized Peaches Burrata Arugula And Crispy Serrano Recipes

GRILLED-ASPARAGUS, TOMATO, AND FONTINA PIZZETTE

Steps:

• Preheat grill for direct- and indirect-heat cooking to 500 degrees (if grill does not have a temperature gauge, set an oven thermometer on upper rack). If distance between grill grates is 1 inch or greater, preheat a metal cooling rack directly on grill to prevent dough from sinking through.
• Toss asparagus and scallions with oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning a few times, until charred in places but still firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool slightly; when cool enough to handle, cut scallions into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
• Turn dough out onto a pizza peel or thin wooden cutting board dusted with semolina (do not punch down). Divide into thirds. Starting in center of each and using both hands, press down and outward with your fingertips while allowing dough to slowly turn. Gradually work toward edges, leaving a 1-inch border of undisturbed dough, until each is stretched to an approximately 7-inch round.
• Lightly drizzle each round with oil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to grill over direct heat and cook just until set and lightly charred on bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from grill.
• Divide half of cheese evenly among crusts, then top with asparagus, scallions, tomatoes, and thyme. Sprinkle evenly with remaining cheese. Return pizzette to grill over indirect heat. Cover and cook until crusts are golden brown in places, asparagus is crisp-tender, and cheese is bubbly, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately.

GRILLED SUMMER PIZZETTE WITH CARAMELIZED PEACHES, BURRATA, ARUGULA AND CRISPY SERRANO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Lightly brush 2 baking sheets with vegetable oil. Lay the ham on top in a single layer and lightly brush with vegetable oil. Bake in the oven until crispy, 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway. Remove and let cool.
• Once your pizza dough has thawed, divide into 3 balls. Sprinkle flour (or cornmeal for texture) on your workspace and roll each ball into an elongated "flatbread," 10 to 12 inches long and 4 inches wide. Brush both sides with olive oil.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat and saute the peaches with the brown sugar and some salt and pepper until caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Heat a grill or large grill pan to high heat.
• Grill 1 oiled crust until it has distinguished grill marks, about 2 minutes. Flip and then layer with 2 cups arugula, generous spoonfuls of the burrata, some caramelized peaches and crisp serrano. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and close the grill until the cheese is melted. Remove from the grill and repeat with the 2 remaining pizzettes.

PIZZETTES WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, GOAT CHEESE, AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over low heat. Add the onions, salt, pepper, herbs de Provence, and sugar. Stir to combine. Continue cooking over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and dark golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Roll out the pizza dough into a 1/4-inch-thick round. Using the cookie cutter, cut out 24 dough circles. Arrange the circles on a large heavy baking sheet. Place a small spoonful of the caramelized onions on each dough circle. Top with a small amount of goat cheese. Bake until golden and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
• While still hot, top each pizzette with a piece of prosciutto. Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with sprigs of parsley or rosemary. Serve immediately.
