More signs that spring is here! Julianna is back in the case and looking beautiful as ever.

The rind of this semi-soft goat cheese from Capriole is rubbed with thyme, lavender, rosemary, and wildflowers. It has a delicate sweet and savory balance and a buttery texture that makes it a great cheese to snack on with olives and charcuterie. 

Fully melting a delicate cheese like this will dilute some of its subtleties, so adding the cheese after the pizza is cooked warms it up a bit, without taking away the flavors.  

Feel free to use your favorite pizza dough recipe, precooked flatbread, or frozen pizza crust.  

One bunch of grocery store scallions will be plenty for this recipe. But if you have larger, farmer’s market green onions, use a few less. You’ll want a little more than 2 cups of sliced scallions before you start cooking them.

If you are feeling spicy, feel free to sprinkle over some red pepper flakes or serve with some chili oil.
