Description

Imagine the vibrant flavors of Spain meeting the comforting familiarity of Italian cuisine. This chorizo pizza creation is a delightful surprise, a testament to unexpected pairings that truly work. The foundation is a tangy marinara sauce, its acidity cutting through the richness of the other ingredients and providing a bright counterpoint.

Fresh basil leaves, scattered generously, offer a sweet, aromatic lift, their verdant notes adding a layer of complexity that elevates the entire experience. Creamy mozzarella cheese, melted to gooey perfection, blankets the pizza, its mild flavor acting as a unifying element, bringing all the components together in harmonious balance. But the star of this culinary show is undoubtedly the chorizo.

This spicy, cured sausage, with its smoky paprika undertones, delivers a burst of flavor with every bite. The crispy chorizo, nestled within a delectable ham cup, offers a delightful textural contrast to the soft cheese and tender crust. The rendered fat from the chorizo adds a layer of richness and depth, infusing the pizza with its distinctive savory essence.

Each element plays its part, creating a symphony of flavors and textures that dance on your palate. Be mindful of the warmth of the filling when enjoying this pizza, as the chorizo tends to retain heat. This chorizo pizza is more than just a meal; it's an adventure, a culinary exploration that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more.

It’s perfect for a casual weeknight dinner, a fun weekend gathering, or any occasion that calls for a delicious and unexpected treat. Prepare to be amazed by this surprisingly addictive and incredibly flavorful pizza creation.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. In a small skillet, cook the ground chorizo over high heat. Break up the chorizo into crumbly bits and cook until the chorizo had turned to a crisp. Set the chorizo aside to cool slightly when done.
    2.
    In a 6-ct muffin tin, arrange 6 slices of circle-cut ham in each tin. Press the ham down so each slice mimics a little cup. Use a slotted spoon to distribute the chorizo into the bottom of each ham cup, leaving excess grease aside.
    3.
    In a small bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients. Spoon the marinara mixture over the chorizo.
    4.
    Bake the tray for 15 minutes. Allow the muffin tray to cool for a few minutes before pulling the ham cups out.
