GREEK PIZZA ON PHYLLO WITH FETA AND TOMATOES



Greek Pizza on Phyllo With Feta and Tomatoes image

Adapted from a recipe by Joanne Wier, this is an astonishingly wonderful change-of-pace for the pizza heads among us. Rich, but with a distinctly Greek "flava" this beautiful dish will make your evening. Wonderful to serve to company - very pretty, unusual, and TASTY! ADDENDUM: I've tried several great variations on this...using puff pastry instead of phyllo, substituting cream cheese for the mozzarella, adding some cilantro pesto to the cheese combo, and topping with sauteed onions, zucchini, yellow squash, and using chopped GREEN olives instead of black. Scrumptious! Use your imagination and run amok!

GREEK PIZZA WITH PHYLLO CRUST

A coworker of my husband's brought this in one day, and DH thought it looked and sounded good. The recipe is from Mollie Katzen Online. It can be made ahead and refrigerated until baking.

Provided by Halcyon Eve

Categories     Spinach

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup minced onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 lb spinach leaves, washed, de-stemmed, and minced
8 large garlic cloves, minced
fresh ground pepper
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 lb phyllo pastry, thawed
olive oil flavored cooking spray
1/2 lb part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 medium ripe roma tomatoes, thinly sliced (or chopped)
1/2 cup kalamata olive, pitted and quartered
3/4 lb reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F.
