A tube of refrigerated pizza dough and frozen chopped spinach make these impressive appetizers a cinch. I found the recipe in a cookbook but lightened it up, explains Prospect, Kentucky's Juliet Lodge. They're wonderful with white wine. Ingredients:
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded reduced-fat swiss cheese |
1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese |
1 green onion, sliced |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust |
1 egg white |
1 teaspoon water |
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
pizza sauce, warmed, optional |
Directions:
1. Cook spinach according to package directions; drain well. In a bowl, combine the spinach, Swiss cheese, ricotta cheese, onion, basil, salt, garlic powder and pepper.
2. Roll pizza dough into a 15-in. x 10-in. rectangle; cut into six 5-in. squares. Spoon 1/3 cup spinach mixture onto the center of each square; brush edges of dough with water. Fold one corner over filling to the opposite corner, forming a triangle. Using a fork, crimp edges to seal.
3. Place in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Prick tops with a fork. Lightly beat egg white and water; brush over dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with pizza sauce if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
