Asparagus and Blue Cheese Pizza


Ingredients:
16 oz. of ready-to-bake pizza dough
4 oz. of light whipped cream cheese
4 oz. of crumbled fresh salem blue cheese
12 oz. of asparagus spears, trimmed and chopped into bite-size pieces

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F.

Spread pizza dough over pizza stone or cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.  Spread the cream cheese over the dough (I let mine sit at room temperature for a bit to make it easier to spread).  Top with chopped asparagus and then sprinkle blue cheese over entire pizza.  

Bake for about 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and the crust is starting to brown.
