Greek Pizza

Traditional Greek ingredients such as fresh spinach leaves, red onions, sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives and feta cheese top this rustic pizza.

Recipe Ingredients:

1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 (12-inch) pre-baked pizza crust
3/4 cup shredded aged provolone cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
20 to 25 fresh baby spinach leaves, cleaned
1/4 cup julienned red onion
3/4 cup (4 to 5 ounces) crumbled feta cheese with sun-dried tomatoes
1/3 cup sliced Kalamata or black olives
2 tablespoons finely diced sun-dried tomatoes
Balsamic vinegar (optional)

Cooking Directions:

1. Place the pizza crust on a pizza pan or a large baking sheet.
2. Spread the sauce on the pizza crust. Sprinkle the provolone and mozzarella on the sauce.
3. Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for 7 to 9 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. Remove from the oven.
4. Arrange the spinach leaves over the top of the pizza. Arrange the red onions over the spinach; sprinkle the feta cheese, black olives, and sun-dried tomatoes over the top.
5. Mist the pizza with balsamic vinegar, if desired.

Makes 4 servings.

Tip: You may substitute another flavored feta cheese. Homemade pizza crust may be substituted, if desired. Pre-baked the crust for 5 to 10 minutes, then proceed with the recipe as written. If you prefer cooked onion, place the onion over the sauce prior to baking.
