Arrange asparagus on pizza in a symmetrical pattern. Sprinkle with olive oil; season with oregano and pepper.

Suggestions

For those hot summer days, try fresh tomatoes with sliced Bocconcini and fresh basil leaves, drizzled with oil and seasoning.
Or
Sauté bell pepper strips with cubed zucchini and eggplant. Combine with thin slices of Bocconcini, drizzle with olive oil, season and enjoy!

Good alternatives to Bocconcini for your recipes include any of the stretched curd pasta filata cheeses such as Scamorza, Mozzarella, Fior di Latte, Cacciotta, or Trecce, a larger cheese woven into a braid and the most similar to Bocconcini.
