Who doesn’t love pizza? Honestly, I have yet to find someone to admit to that. There are just so many ways to enjoy pizza, that it’s hard to imagine that someone out there can’t find a combo they love. Pizza is great any time of the day, and this Avocado & Jalapeño Pizza is the perfect brunch treat!
This recipe is my version of a pizza I had at Mash’d. It’s part of their brunch menu, and you can add an egg to it if you choose…um, excuse me? Yes, please. This Avocado & Jalapeño Pizza has all the elements of a perfect pizza. Melty cheese, chewy crust, and that classic garlic flavor. However, this one is topped with lots of green goodness, and a little spice.
If you’re a pizza fan, you’re gonna love this one! Try out this pizza for your next at-home brunch, movie night, or even as a late night snack. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 8 oz prepared pizza dough
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbs cilantro leaves
- 3 Tbs olive oil
- 2 tsp chopped garlic (or garlic paste)
- Salt & pepper
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Prepare oven safe skillet by pouring in 1 Tbs olive oil and coating entire pan. Lightly sprinkle 1-2 tsp flour (or cornmeal if you have) to help avoid the dough from sticking.
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 Tbs olive oil and 2 tsp garlic.
- Press the pizza dough into the pan. Brush with garlic mixture & season with salt & pepper. Pierce the surface of the dough with a fork to help it from bubbling up while cooking.
- Cook pizza dough for half the amount of time suggested on the package.
- Remove from oven. Top completely with cheese, then add the jalapeños. Return to oven to finish cooking.
- After removing from the oven, cut into slices for serving and add several slices of avocado to each slice, and top with cilantro.
