Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the pizza shell on a baking sheet.
- With a sharp knife, cut the rind from the Brie cheese, wetting the knife often to prevent sticking.
- Cut the cheese into small hunks and arrange over the pizza shell.
- Bake at 450°F for five minutes or until the cheese is about half melted.
- Arrange smoked salmon pieces over the cheese.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh dill.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional three to four minutes.
- Let stand at room temperature for five minutes before cutting.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding a drizzle of lemon juice over the smoked salmon before serving. If you're out of Brie, Camembert makes a great substitute due to its similar creamy texture. For a crunchier texture, try pre-baking the Boboli shell for a couple of minutes before adding the toppings. Fresh dill can be replaced with chives if preferred.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delicious smoked salmon and Brie pizza with a side salad or some roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. A light white wine or sparkling water pairs beautifully with the flavors. For a more substantial offering, consider serving it alongside Mediterranean recipes like hot shrimp on spinach.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. When reheating, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to maintain the crispiness of the crust. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the crust soggy.
