INGREDIENTS
* 5 thick slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
* 1 unbaked pizza crust
* 1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
* 1 cup chopped fresh asparagus
* 1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
* 1 (11 ounce) log fresh chevre (goat cheese)
* 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
* freshly ground black pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
* Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
* Place bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for a few minutes to release most of the grease, but do not cook until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain.
* Spread the pizza crust out on a pizza pan or large baking sheet. Top with mozzarella cheese, bacon pieces, asparagus, and tomatoes. Dot with goat cheese, then season with red pepper flakes and black pepper.
* Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the crust is golden brown underneath when you lift it up to take a peek. Let cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
