Potato, olive, rosemary and smoked cheese pizza – Quickes’ Smoked Cheddar melted over slithers of new potato is comforting and woody. Wonderful with a few briny Real Olive Company Organic Olives and sprigs of rosemary for an authentic Mediterranean vibe. Try with air dried ham for a meaty version or keep it vegetable based for something lighter.
Method

Bake for 2-3 mins turning regularly. Garnish with elderflowers or chive flowers.
