Goat Cheese Pizza with Green Onions and Tomatoes
This goat cheese pizza is really tasty and goat cheese is a flavorful alternative to mozzarella, cheddar, and other popular pizza topping cheeses. Goat milk is similar in fat content to cow milk but it contains certain acids, which give the milk its unique tart taste. Goat milk is higher in protein than cow milk. It is low in potassium and suitable for people with chronic kidney disease because of this. Goat cheese has been made for centuries and it is believed to be one of the earliest dairy products. Goat cheese does not melt like cow cheese but it does soften in the heat.

Photo Description:
You can see from the photo that this is quite a thick pizza but you can roll it out to whatever thickness or thinness you like, depending on personal preference and the size of your grill. The thinner the pizza crust is, the less time it will take to cook. If you want to make it quite thick, use a moderately hot grill rather than a very hot one, else the outside will be browned before the inside is cooked, and keep the dough over an indirect heat rather than a direct one. This simple tomato and goat cheese pizza is nice served with a fresh salad and your favorite salad dressing.
