  • Author: I

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

 


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) or according to the instructions on your pizza crust packaging.

Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms and Spinach

  1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5–7 minutes, until they are browned and tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizza

  1. Prepare the Crust: Roll out the pizza crust on a floured surface if necessary. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  2. Layer Ingredients: Spread the sautéed mushroom and spinach mixture evenly over the pizza crust. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 4: Bake the Pizza

  1. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 5: Drizzle and Serve

  1. Add Balsamic Glaze: Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
  2. Garnish: If desired, add fresh basil leaves for garnish.
  3. Slice and Enjoy: Slice the pizza and serve warm.
