Blog Party #32 - Pizza Party - Proscuitto, Potato and Goat's Cheese Pizza Squares



It's Blog Party time again over at Stephanie's Dispensing Happiness, and this month's theme is Pizza Party. That's right folks - bring along a bite-sized pizza and a matching drink to join the party.


I had recently found this great recipe by Ray McVinnie for proscuitto, potato and goat's cheese pizza from Stuff.co.nz, so Stephanie's choice of party theme gave me the perfect opportunity to try it. I changed it a little by spreading some barbecue sauce on the pizza crust over the egg glaze (I highly recommend doing this with your choice of sauce - it makes the pizza moister), and substituted kumara (sweet potato) for the Agria (huh?) potatoes. For context, this was the pizza before it became Blog Party pizza squares (I use the term "squares" loosely):



Now as everyone knows, beer and pizza makes a great combination. Unfortunately, I didn't have any beer in the house, so I have brought along stout - Guinness nonetheless - to accompany my pizza squares instead:




Thanks to the hostess with the mostest, Stephanie, for hosting Blog Party, and I look forward to the party roundup later in the month.

  12. Hey there Maryann, Glad you liked the package - it was fun compiling it.

    Hi Jenn, Sending a slice your way ;)

    Hi Mary, it is surprisingly good - but I recommend the sauce underneath, because the pottato gets quite crispy.

    LOL Happy Cook - what an interesting story. Must tell my girlfriends about the benefits of drinking Guinness.

    Thanks Cakespy!
