french fry pizza {re-create}

remember this little slice of heaven?
  how could you forget?
2 of the most fattening foods in the world,
together!

i was determined to re-create the goodness.
i couldn't just drive to texas everytime i craved it.
lucky for you, it worked!

here's what you'll need:
freschetta brick-oven frozen cheese pizza.
(it was the closet thing to wood-grilled i could find in just cheese)
shoe string french fries.
basil-chopped.
white truffle oil.
i found the oil at dillons...who knew?
kinda of pricey...$13.99
i have a feeling i'll be making lots of these so we'll
just look at it as an investment of my well-being.
don't follow the time on the box 
  preheat to 400*
bake the pizza for 12 minutes 
directly on the rack.
after the 12 minutes, remove and cover with foil.
bump up your temperature to 450*
then spread a layer of fries on a baking sheet.
 bake for 12 minutes.
drop temp back to 400*

spread fries over baked pizza.
 drizzle about 1 1/2 tbl. truffle oil evenly over fries
then sprinkle on basil.
put back in the oven and bake an
additional 4-5 min.
just so the crust is a tad blackened.

i never waited for the temp to fully get where it needed in between
the pizza and the fries.
i'm impatient like that.

 craig loved it.
i loved it.
miley didn't even get a crumb.
i have to say...it was pretty darn close to the real thing,
just smaller...i might have to make 2 next time.
enjoy!
i'm gonna go do about 200 sit-ups now.

  3. Truffle Oil...oooolala. Now about that pizza. Was it good? I hope it tasted like heaven, so it could redeem itsself. Do they pass out cardiac paddles with it? I can imagine the plaque just hardeneing around the arteries with that one. The pizza without the fries looks awesome.
    Are you using Pampered Chef pizza stones. Just curious. I used to be big into that stuff, but I tghink I only have one or two things left now.
