BLT Pizza – Bacon Lettuce and Tomato Pizza

Bake your bacon in the oven (see note below) until crispy. While your bacon is baking, you can also crisp up your pizza base. I used this great Afghan bread that makes perfect pizza crust. But any of your favorite pizza bases (pita, naan or tube pizza dough) that are pre-baked and heated are perfectly fine. Once the pizza base is heated (but not too hot), apply the chive and onion cream cheese all over the base.

Next layer on the shredded romaine lettuce, sliced grape tomatoes, salt and pepper and crumbled bacon. Enjoy!

Note: The easiest way to make bacon is to bake it in the oven. You will get perfectly crispy bacon and you don’t have to do anything but let it bake. Preheat your oven to 400ºF. You will need a baking tray and some cooling racks placed on top of it or you can use your broiler pan that is slotted with a drip pan. Lay your bacon across the cooling racks. Place them in the oven for 15 minutes or until the bacon is fully cooked and ready to crumble. The bacon will be crisp, perfectly straight and all the oil will have dripped to the lower tray. I love this method.
