Evelyn-Inspired Greek Tomato-Spinach Pizza
- 14 cup olive oil
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 (10 ounce) boxes frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 12 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 14 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 10 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
- 14 cup butter, melted
- 5 fresh tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 12 cup grated halloumi cheese
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Heat the oil and saute the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
- Add the spinach and keep sauteing until all the moisture has evaporated (you don't want this to be bone dry, just all the excess moisture should be cooked off).
- Add the oregano, basil and black pepper.
- Mix it into the spinach mixture and then remove from the heat.
- Mix in the ricotta cheese.
- Set aside for now.
- Find a jelly roll pan with a small rim and grease it.
- Lay one sheet of phyllo dough down on it, the sheet can be a little bigger than the pan, that's okay.
- Brush the sheet of phyllo with some of the melted butter.
- Top that with a second sheet of phyllo dough, and brush that with some melted butter.
- Keep going until all ten sheets have been layered and butter.
- Roll the overlapping ends of the dough onto itself to form the pizza"crust".
- Using a spatula, spread the spinach-ricotta mixture over the phyllo in an even layer.
- Arrange the tomatoes over this layer.
- Mix the mozzarella with the haloumi.
- If you can't get haloumi cheese, that's okay, don't kill yourself over it, just use 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella instead.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the tomatoes.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
