Grilled Goat Cheese Pizza with Bourbon Honey
0:45 - Prep 0:30 / Cook 0:15
Beginner
This fresh, grilled pizza drizzled with bourbon honey is one of chef Edward Lee’s favorite dishes to make as an app or main dish. A hearty hickory smoke asserts itself in the dough, while tangy, savory goat cheese takes center stage. Toppings like zucchini, fresh cherries and shiitake mushrooms pull flavor in different, unexpected directions. Arugula adds a crispy, herbaceous accent, and the heavy-handed drizzle of bourbon honey is the icing on the cake that ties it all together.
We made this recipe on the Rider DLX, but you can make it on your smoker and grill.
