Cheesy BLT Pizza

Try a cold pizza for something different!  This Cheesy BLT Pizza is loaded with fresh lettuce, tomatoes and salty bacon on top a layer of seasoned cream cheese.

We’re battling a fierce cold in our household this week.  Last night during video chat with Judah and my parents, my mom scared me into going to the doctor, telling me I probably have strep throat.  Fortunately, I don’t.  But, unfortunately, I didn’t leave the doctor’s office before getting a shot in my hiney. It was loaded with antibiotics that’s supposed to help faster than just taking some prescription pills.  So far, I feel nothing except some soreness where the shot was and that same scratchiness in my throat. 🙁

But, healing can take some time, I know that, and the doctor was super nice.  You know what doesn’t take a lot of time, though?  This pizza.  On sick days, you don’t even want to consider a recipe that is too involved.  Even so, if you still have your taste buds and appetite, you still want something yummy, yet light.  Right?  This BLT pizza recipe is just that.

Using a pre-baked pizza crust, you can whip up this pizza within minutes, even for a quick lunch!  Just bake the crust a little more until it is somewhat crispy, spread some lightly seasoned cream cheese over top, then layer with cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes.  It really can’t get any easier than that.  (Unless you’re not sick when you make it.)  😉
