It's Valentine's Day in many countries, but here... What are you making for your sweetie, neighbor or friend?Here's a sweet pizza I made, with guava paste and cheese, a common combination found in many latin countries and known here as "Romeo and Juliet." The name might have come from the famous play by Shakespeare, but the idea is that "cheese and guava paste" make an irresistible and perfect combination.
Also, Portuguese has two genders for nouns, so Cheese is masculine and Guava is feminine. A language peculiarity that makes Portuguese a beautifil language but very confusing for English speak
ers who have a hard time trying to figure out the gender of things.My contribution to "A heart for your Valentine" event. If you would like to participate, please find the instructions here.
To make the Romeo and Juliet pizza:
1 recipe for personal pizza
1 can guava paste cut into cubes
cream cheese, white cheese or mozzarela
Cover the pre-baked pizza with the cheese and the guava paste and bake in preheated oven until cheese and guava paste melt.

Lovely! Happy Valentine to you my dear friend!
I'm a sucker for cheese and guava paste together, Cris - my mom loved it!
And I like your pizza a lot.
This is the best! One of my friend's who comes from Columbia eats this too. She brought some back with her and it was so delicious! Perfect for those who enjoy the sweet/savory combination!
Sounds delicious. Have never had something like this. A perfect sweet and savory combination. My kids will surely like this one.
This looks so good Cris :)
hahahah at the portuguese language thing, it's the problem I have trying to teach my kids. They don't understand how a table is feminine and hair is masculine LOL
Hugs,
Sandra
Hope you had a great day! Love that dessert pizza.
What a great idea! I've never heard of this combination, and it sounds quite wonderful. Thanks for the lesson!
A very interesting combo of flavors. Although we have ample guavas in Cape Town, I have never tasted the paste. Lovely blog.
That's the sweetest sweet pizza, ever, Cris! Hope your day was filled with love.
Thank you all for visiting. Our Valentine's Day is June 12th! :-)
