Pizza. Skillet Pizza. And let’s put butter on it. BROWNED butter!
You know that sounds good.
And omg is it ever good. Sweet, salty, spicy… and buttery!!!
I recognize that maybe I take it too far sometimes with the browned butter. Maybe it doesn’t go with everything. Maybe. Not this time. This one is a keeper and you must try it.
