Jalapeno Popper Pizza

Spicy and cheesy pizza with a jalapeño popper twist. Two favorites in one bite!
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 ball of pizza dough; homemade or store bought
  • 2 jalapenos; sliced and seeds remove unless you want it extra spicy
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp yellow corn meal
  • 6 ounces of cream cheese; softened
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Monterey Jalapeno Jack Cheese
  • 5-7 large slices of Havarti cheese
  • 1 Tbsp fresh chives; sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a pizza pan or baking sheet with olive oil. Work the pizza with your hands to form a pizza dough about 10 inches in diameter. Transfer to pan and sprinkle cornmeal to the bottom of the pizza/baking dish (this will make the bottom and edges crispy).
  • In a small bowl add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to cream cheese until combined.
  • Spread the cream cheese over pizza dough evenly. Leave about 3/4-1 inch of a border. Add havarti slices, then sprinkle shredded jack cheese, top with jalapenos, and chives.
  • Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes of until golden brown.
  • *if you love bacon, I highly reccomend adding freshly chopped bacon to the top of these for an extra deliciousness!
