Blue Cheese and Walnut Pizza
Blue Cheese is tangy and savory where walnut is earthy, and a shared rich streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Bold, pungent blue cheese crumbles add an unmistakable tangy depth and creamy richness to pizza. Toasted walnuts add a satisfying crunch and earthy, slightly bitter nuttiness. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
