Creamy Mascarpone & Fresh Tomato Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
Mascarpone isn't just for tiramisu! This rich, creamy cheese works wonders on pizza: it softens the acidity of tomatoes and creates an incredibly rich, silky base. This pairing hails from Northern Italy, where dairy quality is legendary. A true "comfort" pizza.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the mascarpone with a little salt and pepper to loosen it up.

Tip: If the cheese is at room temperature, it's easier to work with.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough and spread with the mascarpone mixture.

Tip: This acts as the "sauce," no tomato base needed underneath. Leave a crust border!
3 ✓

Slice the tomato thinly and lay over the cream.

Tip: The tomato juices mix with the mascarpone during baking, forming a delicious emulsion.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with Parmesan and oregano.

Tip: Parmesan adds a savory kick to the neutral mascarpone.
5 ✓

Drizzle with a little oil and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12 minutes.

Tip: Ensure the bottom bakes through; the rich topping can sometimes shield the heat.
6 ✓

Garnish with fresh basil after baking.

Tip: Essential for both look and aroma.

Recipe FAQ

Won't the mascarpone melt everywhere?
It will if you use too much. Mascarpone becomes liquid with heat, so dot it on or spread it thinly.
What if it feels too rich?
Mascarpone is a high-fat cheese. Balance it with acidic fresh tomatoes or a fresh arugula salad on top.
