Lindsay Olive and Brie Pizza

Lindsay Olive and Brie Pizza I have a love/hate relationship with olives. Or maybe a like/hate relationship. I like olives, many kinds, but they're not the type of food I ever think of buying myself. I just don't. If I'm with friends who order a pizza with olives on it or I'm at party where they are served or I find them in a salad, I'll eat them. But they're not something I really think about otherwise.

But I do like them on pizza, which makes me want to try this gourmet pizza pie that also utilizes brie cheese.

Lindsay Olive and Brie Pizza

1 refrigerated 9-inch pie crust, at room temperature
1/3 cup Lindsay(R) Black Ripe Pitted Olives, drained and halved
8 oz brie cheese, rind removed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 plum tomatoes, halved crosswise, seeded and thinly sliced
3 tbsp green onions with tops, thinly sliced
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, coarsely grated

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place crust on a lightly floured cookie or baking sheet. Fold in edges of crust 1/2-inch, pressing down to form a rim. Spread mustard over inside of crust. Top with half of brie cheese, tomatoes, olives, green onion, remaining brie cheese, oregano and Parmesan cheese. Bake until crust is crisp and golden brown (18 to 20 minutes). Let stand 10 minutes.

It's a shame that most people think that is what an olive tastes like and then won't try the good varieties you have to find in the deli or a specialty shop.
