Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 25 mins Ready Time: 40 mins


• preheat the oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c).
• place bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat. cook for a few minutes to release most of the grease, but do not cook until crisp. remove to paper towels to drain.
• spread the pizza crust out on a pizza pan or large baking sheet. top with mozzarella cheese, bacon pieces, asparagus, and tomatoes. dot with goat cheese, then season with red pepper flakes and black pepper.
• bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the crust is golden brown underneath when you lift it up to take a peek. let cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
