For many people Easter symbolizes the resurrection of Christ. For other people it symbolizes Cadbury eggs, Reese’s eggs, and asparagus. Can you guess which person I am? And although I look forward to Cadbury eggs all year long, I must say I am waaayyy more excited about the asparagus. I refuse to pay “winter prices” for asparagus so it’s a treat when we have it. I don’t know if it is just us or lots of people, but we always have asparagus for Easter. And I SO look forward to it. I am so excited for asparagus season or as others call it, spring!
This is a super simple lunch/appetizer/dinner to throw together at the last minute. We even used store bought flatbread/naan. Even Kelly, who does not like asparagus, prosciutto, or goat cheese, liked this pizza. Really though, what’s not to like? Cliff and I seriously devoured this flatbread. It is one of my favorite things we have made recently. Any excuse to combine cheese and asparagus, right? If only I could somehow combine asparagus and Cadbury eggs…
Here is what you’ll need
Place the cheese on the flatbread and peel the asparagus. Pop it in the oven.
While that is cooking, combine the ingredients for the goat cheese
Once the flatbread is cooked top with prosciutto
And spoonfuls of goat cheese
Along with a Cadbury egg for dessert, this is my perfect meal
Ingredients
pre-cooked flat bread or naan, ours were about 8 x 6 inches
6 slices mozzarella cheese
2-3 spears of asparagus
¼ lb of prosciutto
4 ounces goat cheese
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
salt
pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place 3 slices of mozzarella cheese on each crust. Using a vegetable peeler, peel slices of asparagus onto the cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Top with sliced prosciutto. In a bowl mix together the goat cheese, heavy cream, lemon juice, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spoon it over the cooked pizza.
