Jalapeno Popper Pizzas Pampered Chef Recipes

JALAPENO POPPER TORTILLA PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500˚. Set a wire rack on each of 2 rimmed baking sheets. Heat the vegetable oil and bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain, then chop. Pour the drippings into a small bowl and wipe out the skillet.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly brush 1 tortilla with the reserved bacon drippings. Add to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook, rotating the tortilla and gently pressing it with a spatula, until crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to one of the racks, crisp-side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and bacon drippings, reducing the heat if the tortillas are browning too quickly.
• Spread the pizza sauce on the tortillas, then sprinkle with the mozzarella, chopped bacon and pickled jalapenos. Working in batches, bake the pizzas, 1 baking sheet at a time, until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 8 minutes.
• Microwave the cream cheese in a small microwave-safe bowl until runny, about 30 seconds. Stir in the jalapeno brine and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle on the pizzas. Cut into wedges.

Spread cream cheese evenly over the top, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with bacon, jalapeño mixture and cheese. Place into oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Serve immediately.

• Mix the cream cheese, 1/2 cup pepper jack and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until combined.
• Stretch the dough almost to the edge of the pizza pan, pressing with your fingertips (lightly oil your hands if the dough is too sticky). Spoon the cream cheese mixture in a thin border around the edge of the dough, about 1/2 inch from the edge. Fold the edge of the dough over the cream cheese mixture and pinch to seal.
• Put the pan on the hot stone and bake until the crust is lightly golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, spread the sauce in the middle and top with the mozzarella and the remaining 1/2 cup pepper jack. Brush the crust with olive oil and top with the jalapeno slices.
