Gourmet Spinach Pizza
- 1 12 or 14 inch pizza crust (ready-made or from ready-to-bake crust)
- Toppings:
- 2-3 cups fresh spinach, torn and stemmed
- 2 ripe Roma plum tomatoes
- 8-10 pitted black olives
- 1 cup diced sweet onion
- 6-8 Crimini mushrooms
- 4 tbs olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups crumbled Feta
- 1/2 shredded Parmesan
- 1 clove minced garlic (optional)
- (note- measurements are apporoximate....it's a pizza, adjust to suit your taste!)
- Sauce:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3/4 cup Parmesan
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp white pepper
- 1 quart whipping cream
- 8 oz cream cheese
- Preaheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Start the sauce first. Melt butter in a heavy saucepan, then add cream cheese, and whisk in whipping cream in a steady stream, until smooth. Add cheese, pepper, and garlic powder, and simmer for 15 minutes, until creamy smooth. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
- While sauce is simmering, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, and sautee until golden, about 10 minutes. (optional- add 1 clove finely minced garlic). Add mushrooms, and sautee for 1-2 minutes, just to allow the mushrooms to absorb some of the flavor. Remove from heat, and add spinach, tossing to coat with oil.
- Spread 4-5 spoonfuls of sauce onto crust, covering generously, to within 1/2 inch of edges.
- Top with spinach mixture, then layer with thinly sliced Roma tomatoes. Sprinkle with sliced black olives. Cover evenly with feta and parmesan cheeses.
- Bake 12-14 minutes, or until cheese is just browned.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
