Vegetarian Recipes: Spinach Pizza

Spinach Pizza

This is the recipe I've created after eating Applebee's pizza appetizer. I mixed the ingredients ahead of time while cooking other items, and then all I had to was split the bread open, put the toppings on, and bake.

Pita Bread (2 or 3 whole)
1 - 10oz pkg frozen spinach
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1 med. onion
5 or 6 plum tomatoes
8 oz pkg fresh mushrooms
3-4 cloves garlic
1/2 to 1 cup rice or almond milk
4 Tbs flour
1 tsp of each of the following spices:
basil, parsley, cayenne pepper

Thaw spinach completely, press out all water. Heat milk in saucepan, when hot but not boiling stir in flour. Stir until sauce begins to thicken, turn heat down. Add nutritional yeast and spinach. Stir constantly until thick and gooey, only about 3-4 min.

In separate pan, saute onion, garlic, until onion is tender. Stir in tomatoes, mushrooms, and spices. Saute until just done.

Preheat oven to 425. Using a very sharp bread knife, split each pita bread so that you have two round flat pieces instead of one thick one. Place each piece of bread on a cookie sheet or pizza pan. Spread spinach sauce over each. Top with tomato mixture, being careful to avoid the juice.

Bake for 5 to 7 min. Watch closely so that the edges of the pita don't burn. Makes a nice crunchy crust. This made enough for 5 individual pizzas.
