Treat your ingredients with care...

Galician cheese — Opt for a semi-hard Galician cheese, such as Tetilla or San Simón, for an authentic flavor. If unavailable, you can substitute with a mild cheddar or Gouda.
Mixed seafood — Use a combination of your favorite cooked seafood, such as shrimp, squid, and mussels. Ensure they are cooked and chopped before topping the pizza.

Tips & Tricks

For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle some lemon juice over the seafood before topping the pizza.
Experiment with different herbs such as thyme or dill to add a unique twist to the dish.
If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the pizza before baking.
Serve the pizza with a side of aioli or garlic sauce for dipping.
Leftover pizza can be enjoyed cold or reheated in the oven for a few minutes to regain its crispiness.

Serving advice

Serve the Galician-style Pizza Mimosa hot, straight from the oven. Cut it into slices and serve as a main course or as part of a tapas spread. Pair it with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables to complete the meal.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, garnish the pizza with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a drizzle of olive oil before serving. The vibrant colors of the seafood will make the dish visually appealing.
