I’ll be the first to admit I know very little about football.
All I really know about it is that when you slam dunk, it’s called a home run. And when you do a header across the net, that’s called a strike. I guess I know at least that much!
What I DO know a thing or two about is eating. And using a football-shaped cookie cutter to make delicious little game-day Football Spinach Pizzas to eat while the big match is on the TVs.
These little football pizza pies will absolutely keep your vegetarian guests giddy, but if you have meat lovas in the house, feel free to sprinkle some crisp bacon on top.
You don’t want to FUMBLE ON GAME DAY, RIGHT!? Ohhhhhh, me.
Seriously though. Make these. Double, triple, gazillionduple the recipe, and scooooore with your guests!
I’ll stop.
First off, grab your goods. Pillsbury thin crust pizza, spinach, bell peppers, goat cheese, pizza sauce, salt and peppa.
Chop up the bells and saute them for a sec.
Set them aside as you wilt the spinach. Seriously, nothing in this life is better than wilted spinach.
Use a football-shaped cookie cutter to cut out 9 football shapes. I reshaped the dough and rolled it out again to get those last few footballs. I’ve never said that sentence in my entire life.
Layer each pizza with a little Muir Glen pizza sauce, the spinach, goat cheese and red bells.
Bake ‘em up for about 6 minutes.
Decorating Tip! To make the laces, peel a few pieces of the string cheese and cut into smaller pieces. Place cheese on top and return pizzas to the oven for an additional 3 minutes or until those crusts are golden brown and done.
Drizzle each football pizza with a nice drizzle of oil and a few grinds of pepper, and…
Touchdown! (sorry)
