Description

Imagine biting into a crispy crust loaded with succulent lobster meat, melted gouda cheese, and wilted spinach. It’s a decadent treat that’s perfect for a special occasion, or even just a regular weeknight dinner if you’ve got some leftover lobster just laying around.


Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 tablespoons finely chopped onion

1 cup sliced mushrooms

2 cups fresh spinach leaves

1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

Cornmeal, for sprinkling

1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped

1 1/2 cups shredded Gouda cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


Instructions

1. Sauté the vegetables

  • In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil.

  • Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 3–4 minutes.

  • Add the mushrooms and cook until lightly browned, another 4–5 minutes.

  • Add the spinach and stir just until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Prepare your oven and dough

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

  • If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it preheats.

  • Sprinkle cornmeal on a sheet of parchment paper.

  • Stretch or roll the dough into a 10–12 inch round and place on the parchment. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 5–10 minutes.

3. Assemble the pizza

  • Spread the sautéed mushroom and spinach mixture evenly over the dough.

  • Scatter the chopped lobster on top.

  • Sprinkle with Gouda and mozzarella.

4. Bake

  • Slide the pizza (on the parchment) onto the stone or baking sheet.

  • Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

5. Serve

  • Let cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

f you don’t have a pizza stone, bake the pizza on a heavy-duty baking sheet.

Leftover cooked lobster from steamed tails or claws works well here.

To avoid sogginess, don’t overload with spinach—just enough to wilt and flavor.

Try smoked Gouda for extra depth.
