Description
Greek Roasted Garlic Spinach White Pizza is a savory delight featuring roasted garlic, fresh spinach, and a blend of cheeses on a crispy crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 medium head of garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice off the top of the head of garlic, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap it in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized. Once done, allow it to cool slightly, then squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins into a bowl.
- Prepare the Spinach: In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped spinach until wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Make the White Sauce: In the bowl with the roasted garlic, mash it with a fork until smooth. Add the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spread the garlic-ricotta mixture evenly over the pizza crust. Evenly distribute the sautéed spinach on top, followed by the remaining mozzarella cheese and crumbled feta. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the top.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheeses are bubbly and slightly browned.
- Finishing Touches: Once out of the oven, let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of garlic based on your preference for a stronger or milder flavor.
- The crushed red pepper flakes can be omitted for a milder pizza.
