Spicy Spinach and Goat Cheese Pizzas

 

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, preferably extra-virgin

4 cups washed, stemmed spinach leaves

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 (like Boboli)

1 3 to 3 1/2 oz. package soft fresh herbed goat cheese

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 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.

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. Place pizzas directly onto oven rack. Bake until crusts are crisp

and cheese on top begins to brown, about 10 minutes.

Makes 2 servings.
