Brussels Sprouts and Bacon Pizza
Brussels Sprouts is earthy and umami where bacon is smoky and rich, and a shared savory streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Charred, halved Brussels sprouts deliver a nutty crunch and savory depth to fall and winter pizzas. Smoky, crispy bacon strips bring an unmistakable crunch and rich, salty depth to pizza. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together.
