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?

Bake for 18 minutes until cheese is melted and dough is cooked through.

This is so lovely! Love the combo of the goat cheese and berries. You have me dreaming up all sorts of different fruits that I want to put on a pizza now, too. 🙂
I’ve put blueberries on pizza before, now it’s time for blackberries!!
I’ve never really put fruit on my pizza, but I’d like to give you a high five too. Because blackberries are my favorite berry, goat cheese is the BOMB, and I also love using fresh thyme from my pot garden. It’s like you made this pizza for me!
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!
wow this looks outstanding I saw it on pinterest and admired it 🙂
i love goat cheese on my pizza but never tried adding berries. what a brilliant idea!
This looks like what I want for my midnight snack tonight!
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!
