Scallop, bacon and blue cheese pizza

This is a great easy dinner item that can be made in a flash with store bought dough. Cook it in the oven or on the grill for a hot summer night meal with a cool glass of Sancere or Chenin Blanc!

1 store bought pizza dough ball

1 pound sea scallops, raw (or bay scallops if you like the smaller ones)

1/4 cup 100% maple syrup

5 strips bacon, cooked until crispy, drained on paper towel

1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles

3/4 cup (approx.) tomato sauce  (I used Newman's Own)
1 large tomato, sliced
1/2 cup shredded fresh mozzarella
flour for dusting

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. Marinate scallops in maple syrup - let sit while you prepare the dough
2. Roll out dough until it is about 1/2" thick - it should fill up most of a cookie sheet
3. Cover a cooking/baking sheet with tin foil. Dust tin foil with flour. Place dough down on floured cookie sheet. Cook in oven about 10 min (or if grilling then spray grill with PAM and grill one side directly on grill for 5-7 minutes).
4. Remove from oven, flip dough over (bottom side should be starting to get slightly tanned)
5. Start adding ingredients to dough. Spread sauce out evenly. Top with mozzarella, then tomato slices. Arrange scallops (discard extra maple syrup) then sprinkle blue cheese around the scallops and crumble bacon over the whole thing.
6. Bake for another 20 minutes.
7. Remove, cut, serve

ENJOY!!
