In honor of all things cheese, we're posting a recipe swiped from Alouette. We haven't made it, but, boy, we're going to. And we predict:

Rating: Truly 1/2 assed

Here's what you need and how you do it

Prepared pizza dough (enough for one pizza)

8 ounces Shiitake or Oyster mushrooms

1 Tablespoon olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cornmeal for dusting

4 ounces Prosciutto

7 ounces Alouette, Baby Brie Wedge, sliced

Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Heat a pizza stone in the oven for at least 30 minutes, or preheat a large baking sheet for 15 minutes

Meanwhile, trim stems from mushrooms. Place mushrooms in a bowl and sprinkle with oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat. Heat grill or skillet with a dollop of olive oil.

Grill mushrooms until soft and juicy looking, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. If you aren’t using a grill, sauté mushrooms in skillet over medium-high heat until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes

Dust pizza stone or baking sheet with cornmeal. Add brie, prosciutto and mushrooms to pizza crust.

Slide dough onto hot pizza stone or baking sheet and bake until crust is brown and cheese is bubbling, 5 to 8 minutes. Cut pizza into 6 pieces and serve immediately.

*Add a little fresh basil to this for extra mmm*

If it weren't for the mushrooms, I'd be all over this. I think I'd substitute artichokes.

I really need to stop reading food blogs before lunch.

I love pizza, love brie, love prosciutto....I think you know where I'm going here.

Thanks for sharing!

ooh! I just got home from Seattle, hit costco and picked up this exact cheese! I guess I was destined to make it:)

I did choose two winners at random and sent them emails. Sorry for not announcing it. I'm working on getting better at that. :)
