Take a look at my new favorite pizza. I am so excited to share this with you! This feta spinach pizza recipe is EXPLODING with so much flavor that my mouth is salivating as I type this. I am CRAVING another go at it right now (even though, I just got up from having lunch.) I have always been a nontraditional pizza eater. Meaning I don’t really care for much meat on my pizza. Surprisingly, my last favorite pizza was a Korean BBQ Chicken Pizza that topped my list for a while. That was until I tried today’s version. Feta and sautéed baby spinach are a match made in heaven and when you pair it together with sweet caramelized onions and sautéed baby bella mushrooms, well then you’re just being all fancy. I personally love a good veggie pizza. There’s just something so flavor packed (and colorful!) about an all veggie pizza. Especially one that’s made with a white sauce and packed with not one, but two kinds of cheeses. The more variety of cheeses, the better the pizza! I will say that this feta spinach pizza does involve a few steps. But what’s that saying, good things come to those that wait? It’s nothing too extensive that you just can’t handle. It’s as simple as sautéing the vegetables separately. To make the process as smooth as possible, just have your veggies ready to go and that way you can knock them out quickly and efficiently. The good news is that you can use the same pan to sauté the veggies! As in sauteé the spinach, remove. Sauté the mushrooms, remove. And finally the onions which we will need to caramelize. Just a quick wipe of the frying pan in between veggies works like a charm. This feta spinach pizza has been on my mind for a while. I’ve been meaning to recreate a mediterranean pizza that I had some time back that was topped with roasted bell peppers, spinach, feta, and caramelized onions. I don’t think I need to tell you anymore about my obsession with feta cheese (!!). It’s slightly taking over my life and i’m kinda acting all sorts of cool about it. But It is MONEY in this pizza recipe. Even Anees, who is notorious for his “meat lovers pizza”, loved it. I know i’m on to something good when I can make the meat lovers fall head over heels for a vegetarian friendly pizza. But what really makes this 1000% delicious is the white bechamel sauce that all the veggies rest on. It’s simple, I promise. Just a little butter, a little flour, some warm milk, and a few tablespoons of parmesan cheese. Such an easy recipe for white sauce but the flavor is so so good. I used my homemade pizza crust for this feta spinach pizza recipe. I love how the crust is chewy, crispy, and slightly puffy. I use honey instead of sugar in the pizza dough, which helps give it that perfectly golden colored crust that just makes my heart sing. It’s truly the best homemade pizza crust recipe i’ve ever used! I topped the pizza with a combination of mozzarella and feta for this recipe. And just a hint of parmesan cheese in the white sauce. I prefer a split between the mozzarella and the feta. If you aren’t a fan of feta, you can simply replace it with additional mozzarella or any other kind of cheese that you like. Let me know what you pair with mozzarella on this pizza, i’d love to know! If you’re a fan of roasted veggies and pizza, then this is the perfect little number for you. I love whipping up a couple different types of pizzas for our weekly pizza night and this little feta spinach pizza is going to stick around for a LONG time! Now all you need is a little something fizzy and a good movie and you’re all set!
Feel free to replace the feta with additional mozzarella cheese. If you don’t care for mushrooms or baby spinach, simply omit or increase the other veggies!
