Ingredients

1 Pizza dough for one crust
Garlic Olive Oil or just smush a garlic clove in some olive oil and let it sit for a bit; drain and use the oil
2 cups Mexican blend cheese
¼ to ½ red onion sliced thin
1 large jalapeno pepper membrane and seeds removed
6 slices thick cut bacon cooked til not quite crisp and drained
4 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes and rolled into balls about 3/4" diameter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Work your pizza dough into a greased pan.
Brush the surface of the pizza with the garlic olive oil.
Scatter the shredded cheese all over.
Scatter the red onion, jalapeno pepper and bacon on top of the cheese.
Bake for 10 minutes and then remove from the oven.
Dot the surface with the cream cheese balls and return the pizza to the oven.
Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until crust is lightly brown.

Notes

Cream cheese and ovens vary; if your cheese has not browned enough, just pass it under the broiler for a minute although I've found that even if not perfectly browned the time in the oven is enough for it to get warmed; that's what really matters!
