During this festive season, with its lengthy to-do lists, socializing, and houseguests, a simple dinner sandwiched between holiday prep provides a welcome respite. A recipe that’s rustic and easy, with optional shortcuts, is satisfying and comforting and can be enjoyed at the kitchen table or in front of the fire. And guess what? It can also stand in as a low-key appetizer, divvied into small portions and offered to unannounced visitors or lingering houseguests who seem to have misplaced their car keys.
This is a white pizza, which means there is no tomato sauce. The ingredients on the pizza evoke the mountains, with nutty alpine cheese and slippery golden onions. For the easiest prep, use a prepared pizza dough. There are many options available in supermarkets of decent quality. This recipe provides instructions for oven-baking, but the pizza can also be prepared on a grill over indirect high heat.
