Ingredients:

  • 1 FRESCHETTA® Cheese Pizza, any variety
  • 8 oz / 1 cup Frozen Spinach, thawed and drained
  • Eggs, fresh, prepared, poached - 6 total, 4 whole and 2 yolks
  • 4 oz / 1/2 cup Butter, unsalted, melted
  • 1 oz / 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Procedures/Preparation

  1. Preheat oven according to package directions.
  2. Remove pizza from packaging and cardboard, place onto a baking pan.
  3. Place small dollops of spinach over top of the pizza.
  4. Bake pizza until an internal temperature of 160/165°F is reached.
  5. Prepare Hollandaise sauce. Add 2 yolks into a blender with the lemon juice, hot sauce, and salt.
  6. Microwave butter on high for 1 minute, until fully melted and sizzling hot.
  7. Blend yolk mixture on high and slowly drizzle in hot butter, for about 45-60 seconds. Set aside.
  8. Remove prepared pizza to a cutting board, cool for 1 minute. Slice and drizzle with Hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately.
Tips, Notes, and Comments: Hollandaise sauce can be temperamental; after the sauce is finished, prevent it from getting too warm or too cool in the few minutes while the pizza is finishing baking. This is also why it's important to let your pizza cool for a bit before drizzling the sauce on top.

Disclaimer: Pizza should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Once cooked, let pizza cool for at least two minutes before eating.
