Ham Spinach And Potato Pizza Recipes

HAM AND POTATO LASAGNA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine chicken broth and cornstarch, mix until smooth and set aside.
• In a 2-quart saucepan over high heat, saute onion in oil until limp. Add chicken broth mixture, milk, nutmeg and pepper; bring to a boil. Remove from heat, add Fontina cheese and stir until melted.
• Squeeze liquid out of spinach. Rinse fennel and chop feathery green leaves, reserving 1/2 cup. Trim and discard remaining stalks, root ends, bruised areas and coarse fibers from fennel heads; cut heads crosswise into 1/8" slices. Scrub and peel potatoes; cut lengthwise into 1/8" slices.
• Lightly oil a shallow 3-quart casserole dish. Layer 1/3 of the potatoes, overlapping slightly, on the bottom. Cover potatoes with 1/2 of the fennel, 1/2 of the ham and 1/2 of the spinach. Spoon 1/3 of the Fontina sauce over the spinach. Repeat layers. Spoon 1/3 of sauce on top of spinach and top with remaining 1/3 of potatoes. Spoon remaining 1/3 of sauce over top. Bake, covered, at 375 for 30 mins.
• Uncover and continue baking until top is richly browned and potatoes are tender when pierced, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, chopped fennel leaves and bake 5 mins. longer. Let stand 10 mins. before cutting. Serves 4-6.

EGG, HAM AND SPINACH PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place the pizza shell on a cookie sheet. Scatter spinach all over crust. Drizzle with oil. Evenly distribute prosciutto, Parmesan and garlic on top of spinach. Crack eggs onto pizza, roughly positioning 1 yolk on each pizza quarter. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until spinach is wilted and egg whites are just fully cooked. Cut into 4 large slices.

HAM, CHEESE, SPINACH AND POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Using a skillet, melt your butter. Add the flour and the milk.
• Cook until sauce thickens; remove from heat.
• Add eggs, cheese, mustard, salt and pepper.
• In another skillet, sauté the onion in some butter (I use about 1 tsp).
• When onion is cooked, add the frozen creamed spinach (I microwave the spinach first for a couple of minutes to speed up the process).
• In a casserole dish, layer half the ham, then half of the shredded potatoes and half of the cheese mixture.
• Repeat until all is used.
• Cover and bake at 350°F for about 46 minutes.
• Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top before serving.

SPINACH AND POTATO PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475. Brush bottom of a 16 by 11 inch rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoons olive oil. Press and stretch dough evenly to cover bottom of sheet. ( If dough resists at first, let it rest for a minute before continuing.).
• Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoons olive oil and scatter over dough. Sprinkle with salt. Scatter spinach over potatoes. Sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake until underside of crust is golden ( lift an edge of pizza with a spatula to peek.) and cheese is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes on a wire rack before slicing.
• Tips: If Gruyere is too strong for your taste, substitute Jack cheese. Or give the pizza a Greek flair with crumbled feta. Sprinkle on chopped sun dried tomatoes and oregano, too.
