Bell Pepper, Red Onion and Goat Cheese Pizza
I just made this last night and am completely blown away as to how fantastic it was. Was, in the past tense, because there isn’t one bite left. Pure yum.
Serves 2-4. Recipe adapted from Love and Olive Oil.
INGREDIENTS:
CRUST
1 Wildtree So Quick & Easy Pizza Dough (I cheat and am totally OK with that. Feel free to use the grocery store pizza dough or the Boboli Crusts, I won’t tell and I am sure they will taste just as great. It’s all about what you put on it. I like the Wildtree crusts because they taste good. I have no affiliation.)
PAM for spraying cookie sheet
TOPPING
1/4 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon tien tsin (really hot chinese chile pepper flakes - substitute red pepper flakes if you don’t have the good stuff)
2 cups (packed) baby spinach leaves (1 1/2 to 2 ounces)
1 1/2 cups thickly sliced mushrooms (5 to 6 ounces)
1/2 cup drained roasted red peppers from jar, cut into thin strips
1/2 cup paper-thin red onion slices
8 large fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips
5-ounce package soft fresh goat cheese, coarsely crumbled
PREPARTAION:
Preheat oven to 500°F.
Prepare crust according to Wildtree package instructions. Roll out dough on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to baking sheet sprayed with PAM.
Mix olive oil, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic in small bowl. Brush 2 tablespoons of garlic oil mixture evenly over crust. Top with spinach leaves, then sprinkle with sliced mushrooms, roasted red peppers, red onion slices, fresh basil, and crumbled goat cheese. Drizzle pizza evenly with remaining garlic oil.
Bake pizza until crust is crisp and cheese begins to brown, 15-18 minutes. Transfer pizza to board. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

Okay-y-y-y-y!
Now that’s impressive. Nice to see you’re giving up some of your creations irregardless of whom, or where you acquired them(a true Serra). You’re doing me proud! I’ve made record of this recipe and will send it to all my friends(Oops! Almost forgot, I don’t have any).
FYI: I mastered a spaghetti sauce which will make you think you’re in Italy. It is never to be disclosed or I shall have the boys fit your little feet with cement.
PS: That young-girl graphic that’s the header of this web site is excellent. Original or plagiarism? Love it…
Glad you like it. Don’t worry the super secret dad recipes are safe at least until your pushing up daisies
hehe. love you.
The young lady gracing the top of the page is an image I purchased for this project. I like her too. I need to work on a logo for the right side of the banner but that’s another days’ project and I have plenty on my plate right now!
