MINI GORGONZOLA PIZZA APPETIZERS

Mini Gorgonzola Pizza Appetizers image

One of my favorite pizza recipes for appetizers, or you may add a tossed salad and you're set for a gourmet lunch with wine. If you make your own pizza dough, add 1 cup of whole wheat flour to replace 1 cup of all-purpose flour in the recipe. Makes a healthy and tasty pizza dough.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 pound fresh spinach
1 (7 ounce) container pesto
½ pound crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Roll out pizza dough and cut out circles about 3-inches in diameter. Place mini crusts on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir spinach in the hot oil until cooked down and softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes; remove most of the liquid by squeezing.
Cover mini pizza crusts lightly with pesto, leaving a small, plain border. Top each with sauteed spinach, Gorgonzola cheese, olives, and onion slices.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
