Jalapeño Popper Pizza
All the flavors of a cheesy jalapeño popper is so much better in pizza form, with added bacon of course!
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 jalapeño chiles, sliced
- 1 Thai red chili pepper, sliced
- 1 shallot, sliced
- ¼ cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 13.8-ounce can refrigerated classic pizza crust
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, jalapeño, red chili pepper and shallot; set aside.
- Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with cornmeal, roll out the pizza into a 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.
- 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.
