Shaved Asparagus Pizza

From Tasty Kitchen

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1  pre-made  pizza crust
•  extra virgin olive oil, For Drizzling The Dough
• 8  ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
• 1  bunch asparagus
• 5 1⁄4 ounces  weight boursin cheese (or Similar Herb And Garlic Spreadable Cheese)
•  fresh cracked black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. If not already shaped, stretch your pizza dough into a large circle 12-16 inches in diameter and place on your pizza pan or stone. Drizzle dough with a thin stream of olive oil.
3. Slice fresh mozzarella as thinly as possible and arrange in a single layer over dough.
4. Using a vegetable peeler shave your asparagus into thin ribbons. Use the entire bunch, as you might only get 3 or 4 good ribbons from each spear. Pile asparagus shavings on top of the mozzarella. The asparagus WILL cook down so you want to use more than you think is necessary.
5. Top asparagus with several cranks of black pepper and dot generously with Boursin cheese. (I tend to use 1/4-1/2 a package per pizza.).
6. Bake on pizza stone or baking sheet for 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
