Ingredients
Scale
Cheeses:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 (4 ounces / 113 grams) package crumbled feta cheese with garlic & herbs
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for topping
Base Ingredients:
- 1 (12-inch) prepared pizza crust (such as Boboli)
- 1 (10 ounces / 283 grams) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
Seasoning and Oil:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Heat the oven to a high temperature of 450°F, ensuring a perfectly crisp pizza base.
- Infuse olive oil with minced garlic by warming them together in a microwave-safe container for a brief 30-second burst.
- Position the pizza crust on a sturdy baking sheet, generously coating the entire surface with the aromatic garlic-infused oil.
- Create a lush green layer by spreading fresh spinach leaves evenly across the crust, providing a vibrant base for the cheese.
- Liberally sprinkle a combination of mozzarella and feta cheese over the spinach, ensuring complete coverage for a rich, creamy texture.
- Enhance the flavor profile by delicately scattering rosemary and grated Parmesan cheese across the top of the pizza.
- Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake until the cheese melts into a golden, bubbling surface and the crust turns a beautiful golden-brown, approximately 10-12 minutes.
- Allow the pizza to rest for a few moments after removing from the oven, letting the cheese settle and flavors meld before slicing into delectable wedges.
Notes
- Infuse extra flavor by roasting garlic in olive oil before mixing to enhance the aromatic profile of the pizza.
- Ensure spinach is thoroughly dried to prevent excess moisture from making the pizza crust soggy during baking.
- For a gluten-free option, swap traditional pizza crust with cauliflower or zucchini-based alternatives that provide similar texture and crunch.
