AZRT's Note:

Very easy and delicious using a 12" thin Boboli and about 6 oz smoked gouda. I also added some thinly sliced red onion. Yum.

Smoked Gouda is one of my favorites. This is a very simple recipe, and it turned out really good. I also added a little thinly sliced red onion, and it tasted great. Thanks!
