Spinach Pierogi Pizza

Submitted by Kaarin

"This Polish spinoff is adapted from the Pillsbury Best of the Bakeoff. I love spinach pierogis and anything shaped like a pizza! I use home grown frozen spinach-the amount you use is up to you. It doesn't wreck the recipe to use more or less. I also make my own crust, but I'm sure a ready made crust would work too."

As a tradition we eat spinach on the Thursday before Easter. This year, i wanted something new, thank you for sharing a great recipe! I added a little muscat but only used cheddar cheese.

My family enjoyed this a lot. Comfort food, pizza, pierogi's all rolled into one recipe! I made my vegan pizza dough #10579 and added some extra shredded mozzarerella to the potato mixture.Next time will have to double recipe.
