Spinach Caprese Pizza

Quick Notes: I kept this spinach caprese pizza recipe pretty simple, but you could add chicken or shrimp or whatever else you may like to it as well. I think the flavor is awesome as it is, but I know a lot of people are very adamant about meat on their pizza, so go for it if that’s your thing.

Ingredients

  • 1 Boboli Pizza Crust (Or whatever you like, but using something different may affect bake time)
  • 5 basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 handful baby spinach
  • 1 medium-sized tomato, sliced
  • about a cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze. You can get it from the store, or I go over how to make it here: http://www.justthefuckingrecipe.net/stuffed-chicken-caprese/
  • -For Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt your butter over medium-high heat.  Once melted, add your garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir the flour into the butter to make a roux. Don't brown the roux. 
  4. Whisk in the heavy whipping cream.  Allow it to come to a simmer.  The sauce should thicken quickly.  Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. 
  5. Lay our your crust in foil or a baking sheet. Pour on your sauce until it almost reaches the edges. Make sure it's more or less even.  It's pizza, not science so just do your best. 
  6. Spread on a good amount of cheese.  Measure with your heart. 
  7. Add the remaining toppings to the pizza evenly, except the balsamic glaze. 
  8. Put the pizza in the oven and bake it for about 15 minutes.  If the tomatoes are a list undercooked, I would switch it to broil and hit those bitches with that for a minute. It helps, but be careful not to burn the fuck out of your pizza. 
  9. Remove from the oven and let it sit for about ten minutes before drizzling the glaze/reduction over the top.
