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?

You have me craving pizza really badly now…this is such an awesome combination of flavours!
This sounds absolutely amazing! I love the combination of goat cheese (and anything really) but blackberries for this time of year!
I very well may be having this for dinner tonight. Looks and sounds incredible Brandy! I adore goat cheese with fruit!
I am loving the fruit on pizza thing. Joe and I are going to grill pizza soon and I convinced him to let me put fruit on it. I can’t wait. I also want to put fruit in pasta. Uh yum!
*faint* I’m so in love with the flavours, and look of this pizza. YUM! I love fruit on my pizza, figs … grilled peaches … cranberries … mmmmm, dinner anyone?
This sounds lovely! I love the combination of goat cheese with fruit, so wonderful
Your crust looks heavenly
Oh my heaven!! What an amazing combination of flavors going on here! Love this so much!
If there’s one thing I love on pizza it’s goat cheese. And if there’s one thing I love with my goat cheese it’s fruit! So by some weird logic law that I learned in high school, I’m sure…I love this pizza!
This is the prettiest pizza ever!
