Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp finely chopped onion
- 1 cups (237 ml) sliced mushrooms
- 2 cups (473 ml) fresh spinach leaves
- 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Cornmeal, for sprinkling
- 1 cups (237 ml) cooked lobster meat, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) shredded Gouda cheese
- 1/2 cups (118 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- 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.
- Prepare your oven and dough
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve
- Let cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a high-quality, aged Gouda cheese.
- If you don’t have fresh spinach, substitute with 1 cup of baby arugula for a peppery kick.
- To prevent a soggy crust, pre-bake the pizza dough for 5-7 minutes before adding toppings.
