Pizza experiment - suggestions?

[gabboem]

Howdy,

A friend recently told me about corn on pizza. I'm trying to use ingredients below, but I'm wondering what kind of sauces / cheeses would pair well?

On the pizza: (might sound weird but sort of a bet)

Roasted corn
Bacon
Egg

I saw one recipe for corn and bacon + chipotle cream fraiche
Another option may be southwestern flavor with ranchero sauce and jack cheese?

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

THanks!

Ground beef, tomato, green chili, cheddar cheese and corn.

Corn pizza is actually quite common, and delicious.

My goto combo is the following:

fresh corn
balsamic marinated roasted red onions
mozzarella
fresh chives

Mexican chorizo goes good with eggs.

Corn, bell peppers, feta, and basil sounds pretty good to me.

Used to work for a farm-to-table pizza co. In season, we would have corn/zucchini/goat cheese specials with some fresh basil sprinkled on top when it came out of the oven.

Just a few ideas. Corn goes well with ...

Cheddar
Melted butter
Jalapeno peppers
Black beans
BBQ chicken

I would definitely avoid the tomato based sauce. I'm thinking something toward the cornbread end. Bacon/egg/sour cream/chedddar all go nicely in cornbread. Maybe some onion too?

I might pair it with a smoked gouda.

I would like to second a smoked cheese. It goes so well with corn.

What about a garlic mashed potato base with corn and smoked gouda? Some type of fresh herb sprinkled on top after baking?

I think an olive oil base and a smattering of crushed garlic would be awesome. Make it a summer's bounty pizza with zucchini, tomatoes, and asparagus to go with the corn. I think fresh mozzarella would give you the most 'pizza-like' feel.

Sounds like a very fun pizza. An egg sunny side up is very common on pizzas in Europe. Apparently cracked on at the end or at the last minute, to keep the yolk a bit runny.

I do share what I take to be your own sense that the usual American red-sauce would not be optimal there, and that something more cream or dairy-based, or a white sauce, would work better. How about a cheddar cheese sauce? Or a barbecue sauce?

Vircabutar's suggestions are great.

cilantro, lime, corn, and jalapeños?
