A light and flavorful pizza featuring feta, tomatoes, and spinach. I like to use a homemade whole wheat crust, rolled thin.

Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
• ½ cup diced onion
• 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
• ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 (14 ounce) package refrigerated pizza crust
• ⅓ cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
• ½ (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 2 ¼ teaspoons lemon juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). If using a pizza stone, place in oven to preheat.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet; cook and stir onion and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and continue to cook and stir until all liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and season with basil, lemon juice, oregano, and pepper. Allow mixture to cool slightly.

Step 3

Unroll pizza dough on preheated pizza stone or a large baking sheet and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread spinach mixture over dough, leaving a small border at the edge of the pizza crust. Top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese.

Step 4

Press tomato slices into seasoned bread crumbs until coated; arrange tomatoes over pizza. Spread remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese and feta cheese over tomatoes.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until pizza crust is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
