Greek Pesto Pizza

Do you love pizza? I do! As you can see from my previous posts, we make a lot of pizza! It's a Friday tradition. Don't get me wrong, pizza is delicious, but when you have it once a week, it is nice to mix things up a little. The traditional pepperoni can get old pretty fast. This recipe uses classic Greek flavors to make a simple pizza that is complex in flavor. Since it is easily self-assembled, it will also make a fun meal for when you have guests. We recently had two friends over and everyone enjoyed making their own personalized pizza. All it takes is a few minutes of prep to cut the toppings and a few minutes in the oven to make these delicious little guys.


Enough for four diners.

Ingredients (can vary depending on your own tastes)
1 jar of pesto sauce
2 cups of sliced mushrooms
1/4 chopped (chunky) red onion
10-15 sliced green Greek olives (garlic stuffed are best)
1 sliced red bell pepper
15-20 sliced in half cherry tomatoes
1 small jar of artichoke hearts (or better yet, get the ones from your store's olive bar)
Two handfuls of fresh spinach
Sliced chicken breast or sausage (optional). We use vegetarian sausages. And yes, they are delicious!
1 package of pita flat bread
1 container of feta cheese
Garlic salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spread a thin layer of pesto sauce on the pita flat bread.
3. Sprinkle pepper and garlic salt to taste on pita flat bread.
4. Top with some or all of the toppings, creating one layer of topping.
5. Sprinkle feta cheese on top.
6. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crust begins to be golden brown.

It is recommended to pair with a Greek salad and red wine.

Enjoy!
