Spinach Crust Pizza

For the Crust:

• 3 cups fresh spinach, packed
• 1 cup shredded reduced fat mozzarella cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tsp. chopped garlic
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1 tsp. dried basil
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper

For the Toppings:

• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/4 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp. chopped garlic
• 1 1/2 cups shredded reduced fat mozzarella cheese 
• 1/4 cup turkey pepperoni, thinly sliced
• 5 slices Canadian bacon, thinly sliced

 Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Blend spinach and mozzarella in food processor.  Add in egg and spices and blend.  Spread the "dough" out on parchment paper to form the crust and bake for 15 minutes, until the edges are brown.

While the crust is cooking, saute the bell pepper, onion and garlic in a small amount of olive oil and seasoned lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper, until softened, 5 minutes.

Remove crust from the oven and lather it with sauce ant cover with cheese and toppings.  Return it to the oven and broil the pizza for 5 minutes, until the toppings are warm and the cheese is melted.

Allow it to cool 2-3 minutes, slice and dig in!
