Wild Blueberry Gruyere Pizza has sweet wild blueberry jam, salty gruyere, sliced almonds, and spicy arugula for a tasty vegetarian pizza
About Gruyere Blueberry Pizza
If you're looking for an interesting pizza that's a change from the typical pizza crust, pizza sauce, and veggies, you should try this pizza.
With wild blueberry jam, gruyere, and sliced almonds covered in arugula, you get a burst of flavor.
(You'll also probably love this Apple Brie Pizza!)
Pairing the sweet jam with the salty, nutty, rich gruyere and almonds is a great way to balance the flavors, especially when you top it with spicy arugula.
To be honest, I don't love jam but I knew I could come up with a fun way to enjoy it.
Correction: I didn't think I loved jam until I tried this stuff. It completely changed my opinion of jam!
Why do I love wild blueberries so much? Because they are mighty berries packed with antioxidants and goodness.
Using a 4-ounce mini container of blueberry jam gives you exactly what you need for this pizza because about ⅔ of it goes on the base of the pizza.
Then you use the remaining jam to make a vinaigrette to drizzle over the arugula.
And that saves a bowl because you can just add the balsamic vinegar and pinch of salt to the jar and shake well.
Any leftover blueberry balsamic vinaigrette can be used as a salad dressing.
Adding shredded cooked chicken to this pizza is an option if you want more protein. However, I found the vegetarian version written to be quite satisfying.
