Save yourself a trip to Greece and serve this appetizer pizza at your next holiday party. To ensure a crisp and flaky crust, before assembling the pizza, drain the tomato slices on a paper towel to soak up any extra moisture. Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms |
1 medium onion, sliced |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 package (10 ounces) fresh spinach, trimmed and coarsely chopped |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 package (16 ounces, 14-inch x 9-inch sheet size) frozen phyllo dough, thawed |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese |
3 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced |
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, melt butter. Transfer to a small bowl; add oil and set aside. In the same skillet, saute the mushrooms, onion and garlic until tender. Add spinach; saute until wilted. Add the lemon juice, basil and oregano; set aside.
2. Brush a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish with reserved butter mixture. Place one sheet of phyllo dough in baking dish; brush lightly with butter mixture. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Repeat layers with remaining phyllo, brushing each layer.
3. Top with the spinach mixture; sprinkle with cheeses. Coat both sides of tomato slices with bread crumbs; arrange over top. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Yield: 18 servings.
