Potato Leek Pizza

Ingredients
1/2  cup Hormel real bacon bits 
3 leeks, rinsed well to remove grit and thinly sliced
1 loaf store-bought frozen bread dough, thawed and left to rise according to package instructions
5 small red potatoes, sliced paper thin with a mandolin or sharp knife
Kosher salt
1 pound fresh mozzarella, sliced thin
4 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Directions

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.

In a skillet, heat the bacon for a couple minutes.   Add the leeks and saute until soft, about 3 minutes.

Pull or roll the bread dough into a rectangle and place on a baking sheet. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer all over the crust, slightly overlapping the edges. Sprinkle the potatoes lightly with salt, then lay the mozzarella slices in a single layer on top of the potatoes. Arrange the leeks and bacon on top of the cheese.  Next, add the Feta cheese, grated Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.

Bake until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, 11 to 13 minutes.  ***Mine was still doughy at this point, so I covered it loosely with tin foil and cooked an additional 10 minutes.

Cut into squares and serve immediately.

Zucchini Flat Bread

• 1 large Boboli® pizza crust (I used a Pillsbury Pizza Crust)
  
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 zucchini, sliced into 1/8 inch slices (you want about 2 dozen slices)
• 1 1/2 tsp. Johnny’s Garlic Spread & Seasoning (Couldn't find this- used garlic powder)
  
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese (I just eyeballed it as to what looked good)
• 1/2 of a small can sliced olives, drained

1. Place zucchini slices on a baking sheet and cook at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on these you just want to get them tender and about 1/2 the thickness they were originally. If you cook them too long they will burn.
2. Brush top of pizza crust with olive oil. Arrange cooked zucchini slices on crust.
3. Sprinkle seasoning over zucchini followed by cheese. Then top cheese with olives.
4. Bake at 450 degrees for 5 or so minutes until cheese is nice and melted.
   
5. Cut into squares.

Ham, Egg and Spinach Pizza

This recipe came from Ellie Krieger on the Food Network.

Ingredients

• 1 store-bought baked thincrust pizza(I actually used Rhodes dough to make a pizza crust)
  
• 4 cups (about 4 ounces) baby spinach leaves, thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 3 ounces prosciutto di Parma, thinly sliced ( I used ham.)
  
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (1 1/2 ounces)
• 3 cloves thinly sliced garlic
• 4 eggs ( I used 5, since there are 5 people in our family)
  

Directions

Prepare Rhodes Dough to make a pizza crust. Bake according to package directions. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Scatter spinach all over crust. Drizzle with oil. Evenly distribute ham, Parmesan and garlic on top of spinach. Crack eggs onto pizza, roughly positioning 1 yolk on each pizza quarter. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until spinach is wilted and egg whites are just fully cooked. Cut into slices.

* The kids and I thought this recipe would be better minus the eggs. Kile thought the eggs were ok, but a weird addition to the pizza.
