Brie and Walnut Pizza
Brie and walnut both lean rich and earthy, so the pairing doubles down on what each does best instead of competing.
Velvety brie melts into luscious, buttery pools on pizza, adding French-inspired elegance. 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.
