Spinach Artichoke Dip Pizza
Imagine combining creamy spinach artichoke dip with a slice of cheesy pizza for the ultimate eating experience.
Ingredients
For the Spinach Artichoke Dip (makes ~3½ cups)
- 10 ounces frozen, chopped spinach
- ¾ cup low-fat mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan
- 14 ounces artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained, finely chopped
- 2 scallions, green onions, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional for mild heat
For the Pizza
- 1 thin store-bought pizza crust, like Boboli
- 1 to 1½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Instructions
To make the dip:
- Microwave frozen spinach according to package directions in a medium mixing bowl. It doesn't have to be hot; it just needs to be thoroughly thawed. Squeeze out the majority of water by pressing down with paper towels, a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth (do your best to remove as much water as possible). Once spinach is drained, toss in the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined. Set aside.
To make the pizza:
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Add a large dollop of spinach artichoke dip on top of pizza crust and spread out evenly. Sprinkle mozzarella over the top. Bake in oven 5 to 10 minutes until cheese is melted and the dip is warmed through. Pizza crust brands will vary, so be sure to follow the crust package directions for the exact temperature and bake time.
