Pizza with Fresh Tomatoes and Spinach


Last week I wanted a quick dinner, but I also wanted to take advantage of a lot of really excellent ingredients in my fridge. This is what I ended up with. The mozzarella was from here, the tomatoes from here, and the spinach from here--a great combination.

-1 pita
-1 tomato, sliced and seeded
-1-2 oz. spinach, blanched
-fresh mozzarella, cubed
-olive oil
-red pepper flakes
-salt and pepper
-fresh basil
-fresh oregano
-balsamic glaze

1. Arrange tomatoes on the pita. Top with spinach and cubes of mozzarella. Drizzle with olive oil--not too much--and then season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Finish with fresh herbs.
2. Bake for about 15 minutes at 350*.
3. Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Cut into quarters.

The flavors were wonderful. The pita didn't have as much structural integrity as normal pizza crust, but otherwise this was pretty great--a little easier to put together than a full, real pizza when you're short on time, but every bit as delicious!

  1. Was this made with those tomatoes you were talking about that only appear in stores for two weeks?
