You can experiment and try different combinations of vegetables and cheese to top this fast and fabulous pizza. In place of the chard, try baby spinach, kale, or any combination of greens. Mozzarella or Manchego could be swapped for the Asiago. Got leftover Asiago cheese? It's excellent grated over salads or pasta.
