Crawfish Bisque and Oatmeal Chocolate Pizza-Two Favorites

What goes on behind the scenes when I appear with all my ingredients in bowls and all chopped?  Well, the day before, I chop, dice, pre-cook and organize.  I always want a beauty shot to show my viewers the finished recipe as TV time doesn’t always correspond with the real clock.  However, fortunately, my recipes TRULY are easy and not too time consuming.  My sister says, “a recipe should fit on one page or it is too long.”  She loves my Gulf Coast Favorites book as most pages include two recipes.  Looking for Louisiana recipes, this book includes it all.  Off to the kitchen to prepare for tomorrow’s segment: Crawfish and Sweet Potato Soup and Oatmeal Chocolate Pizza.

Healthy soup and pizza: WBRZ Noon Show

This is the absolute best recipe. Tart apples, brown sugar and creamy Brie create this pizza that works great for breakfast, snack or light dessert.  Out of the oven hot…is irresistible!

Apple, Brie, and Brown Sugar Pizza from Holly Clegg’s trim&TERRIFIC Gulf Coast Favorites
Makes 8 servings

1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust
4 ounces Brie, rind removed and thinly sliced
1 large baking apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped pecans
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1.  Preheat oven 450 degrees.
2.  On top of pizza crust, arrange Brie and apple slices concentrically around crust. In small bowl, mix together remaining ingredients, sprinkle over apples.
3.  Bake 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and apples are tender. Slice, serve.

TERRIFIC TIDBIT: I prefer Granny Smith apples as they are tart and compliment the Brie. Any large, thin round, unbaked pizza crust may be used.
