Randy's Prime Rib White Pizza



1 lb. frozen pizza dough thawed or your favorite pizza dough
Fresh basil leaves
Roasted red peppers drained and seeded
3 cloves fresh garlic, peeled and crushed
Thinly sliced red onion
3 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp. flour
½-3/4 c. milk
1/8 tsp. fresh ground nutmeg
1 c. grated parmesan cheese
5 oz. package of crumbled gorgonzola cheese
1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 c. white cheddar cheese
12-14 thinly sliced pieces of prime rib (left over)
 

 


Thaw out frozen dough and allow to rise to double its size or prepare your own favorite pizza dough. Place on a 15” greased pizza pan. In medium sauce pan melt the 3 tbsp. butter. Add 3 tbsp. flour and stir until butter is absorbed. Slowly add milk to the butter and flour mixture until the mixture (white sauce) begins to thicken. If you prefer a thinner white sauce add more milk. Add fresh ground nutmeg. Peel 3 whole cloves of garlic and crush with the blade of a knife.  Add the garlic to the white sauce, and allow to steep for several minutes.  Remove garlic from sauce.  Add 1/2 -1 cup of grated parmesan cheese depending on your taste. Continue to simmer until all of the cheese is melted. Allow to cool slightly.

 


Place the white sauce over the pizza dough evenly, almost to the edge of the crust. Drain roasted red pepper slices on a paper towel and cut into strips and place on top of the pizza. Add whole slices of fresh basil on top of the red peppers and some thinly sliced red onion. Top with a scant layer of gorgonzola or omit if you don’t like gorgonzola. Sprinkle remainder cheeses on top of pizza and place in a preheated 425 degree oven for 18-20 mins.

 



Remove from oven and top with thin slices of prime rib and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until cheeses are lightly browned and bubbly. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. This could be used as a main course but is also good to cut into small sized pieces and serve as an appetizer.
