Health and fertility benefits of Greek Pizza

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Fresh spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, all of which have significant roles in reducing inflammation in the body, all of which help in the case of infertility. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 1/4 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
ground black pepper to taste
1 (14 ounce) package refrigerated pizza crust
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). If using a pizza stone, place in oven to preheat.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet; cook and stir onion and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and continue to cook and stir until all liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and season with basil, lemon juice, oregano, and pepper. Allow mixture to cool slightly.
Unroll pizza dough on preheated pizza stone or a large baking sheet and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread spinach mixture over dough, leaving a small border at the edge of the pizza crust. Top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
Press tomato slices into seasoned bread crumbs until coated; arrange tomatoes over pizza. Spread remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese and feta cheese over tomatoes.
Bake in preheated oven until pizza crust is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
