Pizza with Arugula and Bacon

When I stopped at Green Fields Market this weekend, I spotted a good selection of local greens available - including arugula, spinach, and salad mixes. We can also expect to see lots of greens at the farmers market this weekend! Pick up some Bostrom Farm bacon to go with them for a great combination.

1 14-inch pizza crust
olive oil
2-3 oz. arugula
3-4 oz. shredded mozzarella
1 small shallot, minced
3 strips cooked bacon, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Paint the pizza crust with olive oil, somewhat generously.

Very briefly saute the arugula over high heat, just long enough to barely wilt it (30-60 seconds).

Spread half the cheese over the pizza crust. Spread the arugula over the cheese. Sprinkle with shallots and bacon, then add salt and pepper to taste. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crust is done and cheese begins to brown.

Serves 3-4.
