Goat Cheese & Pickled Jalapeno Pizza

For those times when you crave a pizza to be a little less traditional, try topping it with goat cheese and pickled jalapenos.

Once upon a time a girl named Erin sought to recreate a pizza she saw on Paulie Gee’s Instagram. She made a list and gathered the required ingredients from the local market. But she was most excited to use the jalapenos her beloved pickled himself as the key ingredient. She proudly presented the finished pizza and awaited his appreciation of her culinary recreation to which he exclaimed “I thought you were putting pickled jalapenos on this pizza?”

This is the story of what happens when there are several different jars of pickled things in the fridge without labels and you grab the first one you find only to realize you actually used pickles. So pretend those pickles on this pizza are jalapenos. Or make it with pickles cause apparently it was still delicious. And they lived happily ever after, ha!

But for real, it’s not like I don’t know the difference between a pickle and a pickled jalapeno. I was just not paying attention and didn’t see any other jar that resembled jalapenos and convinced myself the things that looks like pickles had to be jalapenos. Clearly I was too excited to make pizza, something I haven’t done in a long time, but it was a must because today is #NationalPizzaDay! Check out the list below for more ways to celebrate.

Haha, I figured it was worth a share for a laugh especially since I wasn’t going to remake it!
