Grape, Sage, and Walnut Pizza

Is a pizza still a pizza without a sauce? Wouldn't that just be a flatbread? What's the difference between a pizza pizza and a flatbread pizza?  In Steven's world a pizza without sauce is an appetizer, not a meal.  Also in Steven's world this was a pretty damn good appetizer. 

It also sounds impressive to say grapes coated in sage-infused-butter. 




Grape, Sage, and Walnut Pizza
Serves 4

  • 1 package frozen pizza dough, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 15 fresh sage leaves
  • 1 1/2 cup red grapes, halved
  • 1 1/2 cup mozzarella, buy a block and shred it yourself
  • 1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
  • 1/3 cup walnuts
  • balsamic vinegar, for serving
Preheat over to 450 degrees.

In a small skillet over medium high heat, melt butter and add sage. Cook until sage is crispy (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat. Remove the sage to a paper towel and add the grapes to the sage infused butter. Stir around.

Stretch pizza dough to a thin crust on a pizza pan or baking sheet.  Top with mozzarella and gorgonzola cheese.  Add grapes and walnuts on top. 

Bake until crust is browned (15-18 minutes).  Top with reserved fried sage and a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
