White Pizza with Spinach & Garlic

Makes One 12 inch pizza

This is not your usual pizza. There's no red saucey stuff, there's three kinds of cheese and all kinds of flavor. And isn't flavor what it's all about?

Ingredients

  • 1 ready made pizza crust
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic roughly chopped
  • 2 - 3 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 - 8 ounce bag of fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 package sliced Provolone cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Lightly rub or brush the crust with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil
  2. Heat a pan on the stove and cook garlic in the olive oil about 30 seconds
  3. Add the spinach to the garlic and stir until wilted - this won't take more than about a minute
  4. Sprinkle Feta over the crust, it's ok if there's gaps
  5. Spread the garlic and spinach over the Feta and top with slices of Provolone (it's still ok if there's gaps between the slices)
  6. Top with the Mozzarella
  7. Bake at 425 for about 15 minutes, or until the crust starts to brown and the cheese gets all melty
