Ingredients
8 slice bacon
2 package (10-ounce) frozen chopped spinach
3/4 lb. pepper-jack cheese
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper
Two 12-inch store-bought pizza shells
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan
Preparation
Step 1Heat the oven to 425°F. In a large nonstick frying pan, cook the bacon over moderate heat until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.Step 2In a large bowl, combine the bacon, drained spinach, pepper jack, salt, and pepper and mix well. Brush the pizza shells with the oil. Divide the spinach mixture evenly between the two pizza shells and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top.Step 3Bake the pizzas directly on the oven rack (for a crisper crust) or on two baking sheets until the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.Step 4Wine Recommendation: This tomato-less pie needs a soft, fruity red with some tannin to balance the richness of the cheese. Choose a basic Australian shiraz for its plum and cassis flavors with hints of black pepper.
