Dinner

I made this for the first time this evening.  It was surprisingly good, though it does feel a little more like a dessert pizza than an actual meal.  The original recipe was found here, and I made the crust from a recipe I already had.  I modified the recipe slightly.

Walnut & Honey Pizza
-Pizza crust                                  -Handful of chopped walnuts
-1/3 c.(more or less) goat cheese  -Honey
-*Balsamic reduction                    -Olive Oil
-Salt and Pepper

*To make a balsamic reduction, pour 1 1/2 c. balsamic vinegar in sauce pan and a pinch of sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Continue to cook until enough liquid evaporates and the vinegar has the consistency of thin syrup. This will take at least 30 minutes, and probably more. It will continue to reduce after being taken off the heat. When done, set aside.

Heat oven to normal pizza baking temperature.
Brush crust with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle crust with cheese and walnuts.
Bake until crust is done and cheese is bubbly.
Remove from oven and drizzle with balsamic reduction and honey (be generous with the honey)
Sprinkle once more with salt and pepper.
