Spinach and Mushroom Pizza Pockets

I was looking for a recipe for dinner last week that didn't involve meat. Meat is expensive, and with our roommate moving out this month, things are pretty tight! I wish I could tell you how I stumbled upon Madhuram's Eggless Cooking, but I truly don't recall! Anyway, I saw the recipe for these and they sounded really great. I had a little trouble finding pizza dough at the store but once I found it all was well. As you can see, they turned out pretty nicely.


Spinach and Mushroom Pizza Pockets
1 package pizza dough or frozen pizza crust
4 cloves finely chopped garlic
4 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 of a medium onion, thinly sliced
4oz cremini/baby bella mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Pepper

Grease a baking sheet. Splat the dough out onto the baking sheet and adjust it to fit the sheet. Cut it into 4 rectangles. Sprinkle the chopped garlic evenly over the rectangles. Top each rectangle evenly with spinach, onion slices and mushrooms.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each rectangle, and season with salt and pepper. Roll or fold up each rectangle and pinch the ends to close the pockets. Bake on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes at 425 degrees or until they are golden brown.


Om nom nom!

Hi Kate, thanks for trying out the recipe and blogging about it. The pizza pockets have a very nice golden brown crust.
