Applebee's Vegetable Pizza with Spinach Artichoke Sauce
Copycat vegetable pizza uses delicious spinach-artichoke dip as a sauce, rather than tomatoes. It's not your typical pizza, but that's what makes it so interesting!
Ingredients
- 1 10 inch flour tortilla
- butter-flavor oil, as needed
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- black pepper, to taste
- granulated garlic, to taste
- salt, to taste
- 4 ounces Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip
- 1/4 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
1. To make pizza: In a hot saute pan or on a griddle, place sliced mushrooms and butter-flavor oil and season with salt, pepper and garlic. Cook until hot.
2. Brush tortilla with oil and place on griddle. Spread spinach and artichoke dip evenly on top of tortilla to within 1/2 inch of the edge. Top with mushrooms, when cooked, Italian seasoning and diced tomatoes. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over pizza and remove from griddle and place on a pizza pan in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F. Remove from oven when cheese is melted and top with shredded Parmesan/Romano cheese. Cut into wedges and serve.
