Spicy Spinach and Goat Cheese Pizzas Recipe

Spicy Spinach and Goat Cheese Pizzas Recipe

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, preferably extra-virgin
  • 4 cups (packed) ready-to-use spinach leaves (about 6 ounces)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 2 6-inch purchased fully baked pizza crusts
  • 1 3- to 3 1/2-ounce package soft fresh goat cheese with garlic and herbs
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add spinach; toss until beginning to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add rosemary and crushed pepper and toss 1 minute. Remove from heat; mix in lemon juice and peel.
  2. Arrange crusts on work surface. Spread 1/4 of goat cheese on each. Top each with half of spinach mixture, then drop remaining goat cheese over spinach by teaspoonfuls.
  3. Place pizzas directly onto oven rack. Bake until crusts are crisp and cheese on top begins to brown, about 10 minutes.
