Pizza with asparagus
4 servings
90 minutes
Asparagus pizza is a refined Italian dish that combines the delicate flavor of asparagus with the richness of cheese and eggs. This recipe likely originated as a spring variation of traditional Italian pastries when fresh asparagus becomes available. The crispy butter-based crust serves as an ideal base for the creamy filling, where asparagus adds an exquisite freshness to the dish while cheese and eggs create a rich texture. Baked to a golden crust, this pizza is suitable for both a light lunch and an elegant dinner. It can be served with a glass of white wine that enhances the delicate flavors of the ingredients.
