GREEK PIZZA WITH PHYLLO CRUST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add onions and salt and saute until onion is tender.
• Add the basil, oregano, and spinach and stir-fry over med-high heat until spinach is limp and nearly all of the liquid has evaporated, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in garlic, pepper, and lemon juice.
• Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick spray. Layer the leaves of phyllo 1-2 at a time, spraying each with cooking spray and keeping the unused leaves covered with a cloth to prevent them from drying out, until you have a stack of 10 leaves.
• Cut phyllo into 6-8 squares. Sprinkle phyllo squares with mozzarella.
