Easy Gourmet Tomato & Spinach Pizza
Ingredients:
- Pre-made gourmet pizza crust (8-9”)
- Small jar of your favorite pizza sauce
- 1 to 2 cups shredded Pizzarella (classic or mixed with any Pizzarella flavors)
- Fresh tomato, washed and sliced thin
- Fresh spinach, washed and dried
- Italian herbs and spices (Italian Seasoning works well)
Follow directions on packaged gourmet pizza crust with regard to pre-baking and baking temperature. If this is not provided, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cover the crust with a layer of pizza sauce and season as desired. Sprinkle a light layer of Pizzarella on top of sauce layer. For prettiest presentation, place four slices of tomato symmetrically on top of the first cheese layer. Arrange spinach leaves in a crisscross pattern to complement to tomato placement. Lightly sprinkle with additional Pizzarella and top with light Italian seasoning.
Bake in pre-heated over per crust directions or until cheese and toppings are very lightly browned (about 12 minutes in most cases). Cool slightly, cut and enjoy with your favorite red wine.
