Ingredients

Cornmeal, for dusting

1/2 medium apple, such as honey crisp or Pippin, unpeeled and cored

2 small red beets

Flour, for dusting

1 (1 pound) ball store-bought pizza dough

1 cup (4 ounces) shredded fontina or mozzarella (see Cook's Note)

2 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled (about 2 ounces)

1 tablespoon herbes de Provence

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Special equipment:
4-inch round cookie cutter
  1. Preheat a gas or charcoal grill with a cover. (The pizzettes can also be baked in the oven. Place an oven rack in the upper 1/3 of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Bake the pizzettes on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet until the crust is golden, 12 to 14 minutes.)
  2. Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal. Set aside. Using a mandoline slicer, slice the apples and beets into 1/16 to 1/8-inch thick slices. Set aside.
  3. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 13-inch diameter circle. Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 6 circles of dough and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Divide the fontina and sprinkle on top of each circle of dough. Divide the apple and beet slices and place on top. Add the goat cheese and sprinkle with herbes de Provence. Drizzle with olive oil and place on the grill over low, indirect heat. Cover the grill and cook until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese begins to melt, 8 to 10 minutes.

Cook’s Note

*For easier shredding, freeze the fontina cheese for 15 minutes.

Will make this again- enjoyed the flavors. We ate as entree with side salads. The fresh beet is perfect! Did bake in oven at 400 for 8 min. and then 425 for 2 min.--- too hot outside to grill.
