Three Cheese Pesto Spinach Flatbread Pizza Recipe


Ingredients

1 [5 oz] box of spinach
1 TBSP butter
1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
1/4 cup heavy cream, room temperature
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/8-1/4 tsp salt, to taste
1 garlic naan flatbread
2 oz mozzarella cheese, grated
2 tbsp feta cheese, crumbled
1-2 tsp pesto
a pinch of red pepper flakes, for topping

Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Chop spinach and mince garlic.
  3. Heat a deep pan to medium-high heat with 1 TBSP butter.
  4. Add garlic and spinach and sauté until wilted.
  5. Add heavy cream, parmesan, and salt and reduce heat to simmer, stirring frequently to thicken for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  6. Spread spinach mixture onto your flatbread and top with mozzarella and feta cheese.
  7. Drizzle with pesto and bake on a foil lined baking sheet at 350 for 12 min.
  8. Change oven setting to broil for an additional minute or two, until golden and bubbly.
  9. Top with red pepper flakes and enjoy!
  10. Notes
  11. No fresh spinach? No problem! If you have creamed spinach squirreled away in your freezer it makes a fantastic base! Frozen chopped spinach will work too; simple squeeze it dry first and mix it with a dash of cream and a sprinkling of parm cheese. Whichever route you take, Popeye is sure to be proud!
