This blackberry goat cheese pizza is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. It’s perfect for a light lunch or even a delicious appetizer.
I’m at it again. I’m loving me some fruit on my pizza…I can’t help it! Who’s with me?
Creamy goat cheese (you know I love my goat cheese!) is paired with sweet blackberries and fresh lemon thyme from my potted herb garden. Also, I would like to take this moment to give myself a high-five. I haven’t killed my herb garden yet…hooray! Although, my plants were looking a little weak today. I forgot to water them on Sunday and some of mint got a little crispy. Let’s say a prayer for the leaves we lost and hope new ones grow fast!
I threw this little pizza together for lunch one afternoon but it would make a great appetizer or summer brunch. I think it would go perfectly with a sparkly glass of white wine.
Also, on a totally superficial level, doesn’t this pie just look pretty? We could all use a little pretty in our lives…right?
Have you ever tried fruit on your pizza? What’s your favorite fruity topping?

Just tried making this for the first time tonight. Absolutely loved it! Definitely satisfied my goat cheese craving. Was thinking it might be fun to try adding peaches (or nectarines) in the summer! Thanks for sharing!

i'm not sure how i feel about this, as goat cheese and i have had our problems in the past. it seems like i either love it or i feel like i'm putting foot mold in my mouth. regardless of my issues, this is a beautiful pizza!
