80--- "Sandy Special" Flatbread Pizzas

I had the joy of getting to live with my brother-in-law, sister-in-law and my niece and nephew for a year in California while I was completing my dietetic internship. It was an awesome experience and made us such a close family! AND-- I got to eat a lot of pizza. My sister (in-law) Sandy owns a pizza restaurant called Stadium Pizza. If you are ever in the Temecula area, look it up. Such great pies. http://www.stadiumpizza.com/sandyhomepage.html .


The other day I was missing my Cali home and family..... and Sandy's famous "Sandy Special" pizza. Yep- she made it up-- sheer genius.


So.... I made a home version.



Sandy Special Flatbread Pizzas

Serves 2


2- 8" whole wheat flatbreads


1 Tbsp olive oil


1 tsp minced garlic


1/2 cup baby spinach leaves


1/2 cup artichoke hearts, diced


1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese


1/2 cup reduced fat crumbled feta cheese, crumbled


1/3 cup diced fresh tomatoes


1/4 cup jalapeno slices (optional)


2 Tbsp pine nuts (optional)


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place flatbread on baking sheet. Spread 1/2 Tbsp olive oil on each piece of flatbread and sprinkle with minced garlic. Evenly distribute spinach leaves, artichoke hearts, cheeses, pine nuts and jalapenos (optional) between the flatbreads. Bake for ~12-18 minutes, until flatbread is crispy and cheese has melted. Top with fresh tomato. Cut each pizza into quarters and serve!

  2. I'm not sure which brand they are. I got them at my grocery store, near the deli. I will check next time I am there!
