Summary

Pizza for breakfast is always a delicious possibility. This cast-iron pizza develops a warm, fluffy crust that surrounds a cheesy and bacon-topped interior. Using a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet eliminates the need for using extra oil which keeps this recipe as light as possible. As a tip, placing the pan over high heat on the cooktop before transferring it to the oven helps heat it up quickly and yields a perfectly crisp crust.

Ingredients

1 piece fresh baby spinach

1 teaspoon tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

5 piece lower-sodium bacon slices, cooked and crumbled

1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

1 piece commercial refrigerated pizza dough

Instruction

1: Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2: Roll out dough to a 12-inch circle. Press dough into bottom and 1 inch up sides of a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Fold edges of the dough under; crimp.
3: Spread ricotta cheese in bottom of crust; top with bacon, mozzarella cheese, and pepper. Place skillet over high heat; cook 3 minutes.
4: Transfer skillet to oven. Bake at 450 degrees for 18 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and cheese melts.
5: While the pizza cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add spinach. Cook 1 minute or until spinach wilts, turning often with tongs. Remove spinach from pan; drain and squeeze out excess liquid. Top pizza with spinach. Cut the pizza into 8 wedges.
