gorgonzola pizza

A few weeks ago, on Happy Together's Late Night Cafeteria segment, Park Hasun introduced her "Gorgonzola pizza" (Hasun's pancakes), requiring only 4 main ingredients. A lot of people do not have access to Gorgonzola cheese and apparently with only mozzarella cheese, tortilla, garlic and honey, you can mimic the taste of Gorgonzola pizza!

The tortilla is topped with garlic, a heap of mozzarella cheese and is dipped in honey before consumption. The salty mozzarella and the nutty sweetness of garlic honey blends well for the dish. I've never had Gorgonzola cheese before and I don't know if the Gorgonzola pizza and mock 'Gorgonzola' pizza taste alike but even if it doesn't, the mock does make a quick and nice snack.

The other people on the segment recommended adding tomato sauce to the tortilla before the cheese, sprinkling sugar instead of dipping it in honey or trying the combination of salted pollack roe, mayonnaise and cheese instead of garlic and cheese.

I should have sauteed the garlic for a bit longer till it was a nice brown shade to add colour the the pizza!

I've also tried adding very very thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms and onion rings over the garlic and that tasted pretty good as well.

I added some chopped pistachios to garnish and it gave it an upgraded nutty taste and an extra crunch. You could also try adding other roasted nuts.

This snack took less than 10 minutes to make and my family liked it! These ingredients are always available at home and if you don't have tortillas you could probably substitute them with just plain bread and eat it like toast.
