Spinach Crust Pizza

This is originally Jamie's find but I'm sharing it!! It's so good!!!



Spinach Crust Pizza
 
Ingredients
Crust
2 cups raw spinach leaves
1 egg (large)
1 cup shredded Kraft Italiano cheese blend
spices (I used salt, pepper, and seasoning salt - a sprinkle of each)
 
Pizza Sauce
24 grape tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
 
Toppings
2 rounds of Canadian bacon, diced
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
 
Directions
Preheat oven to 425. Line a 12 inch pizza pan with parchment paper (Definitely do this. DO NOT skip the parchment paper. I found that where the crust touched the pan it stuck horribly! It peels off the paper no problem.). Set aside.
In a blender (or magic bullet), blend spinach until it is a baby food consistency. Add egg and pulse until combined. Add in cheese and spices and pulse until just combined.
Spread evenly in prepared pizza pan. (If you are like me you are going to think there is no way there is enough to cover a pizza pan. There is. Just spread it out slowly and carefully and it will get there!)
 
 
Bake at 425 for about 15 minutes. Edges will be browned and crispy.
 
 
Prepare pizza sauce by placing tomatoes and garlic in blender (or magic bullet) and pulse until smooth.
Spread evenly over cooked crust. Top with diced Canadian bacon, onion, and Parmesan cheese.
 
 
Place back in oven and broil until cheese is melted.
