Delicious pizza, the brussels sprouts are really the star here. I did make some modifications - subbed goat cheese/prosciutto and used less, and baked at 450. I am glad I did, the brussels sprouts would have completely burned (unless maybe you added them just the last few minutes?). I would also probably use 3 garlic cloves next time. This pizza really is a great combo, definitely worth making again.
