Butternut, Bacon, Spinach and Feta Pizza

We tried this recipe last Friday night--wow!  The perfect fall pizza has been found.  I loved all the flavors.  They were perfect together.  I wish I had a piece to munch right now....yum.

Butternut, Bacon, Spinach & Feta Pizza Recipe
Ingredients: from gimme some oven
  • 1 butternut squash, peeled, cored and diced into 1/2″ cubes
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and quartered
  • 4 Tbsp. olive oil
  • kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
  • 1 medium pizza crust
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups loosely-packed baby spinach
  • 6 slices lean bacon, cooked and diced into 1/2″ pieces
  • 1/3 cup crumbled ATHENOS feta cheese
Method:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss together the squash, onion, and 2 tablespoons olive oil, then spread the mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.  Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, stirring and turning the vegetables about halfway through.
Brush the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top of the pizza crust.  Leaving a 1″ border for crust, toss the Mozzarella cheese evenly over the center of the crust.  Layer with spinach, then bacon, and the squash/onion mixture (breaking up the onions if needed).  Then sprinkle the top with feta cheese.
Bake pizza according to recipe/package instructions.  Or bake for 10-12 minutes, until crust is slightly golden and the Mozzarella is melted.  Slice and serve immediately.
