Jalapeno Popper Pizza
Ingredients
  • 8 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 prepared 16-inch pizza dough pastry
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or more to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
  • 4 jalapeno peppers, sliced into thin rings
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
Instructions
1
Heat your oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Place the bacon slices in a large skillet and cook over an elevated heat setting, flipping them occasionally, until they achieve a uniform brown color, approximately 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked bacon to paper towels for draining excess fat, while reserving the pan drippings.
3
Sauté sliced onions in the reserved bacon fat until they become translucent, taking around 5 to 7 minutes. Introduce minced garlic into the pan and continue cooking until it reaches a golden hue, roughly 2 to 3 minutes. Add a pinch of cumin, oregano, and black pepper to season the onion mixture.
4
Combine softened cream cheese with sour cream in the pan until you achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
5
Spread this mixture evenly across the pizza dough; layer with mozzarella and Cheddar cheeses on top. Arrange cooked bacon slices and jalapeno pepper rings over the cheese layer in a harmonious pattern. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the entire pizza surface.
6
Place the prepared pizza in your preheated oven and bake until the crust is firm, crispy, and golden brown, accompanied by a melted, bubbly cheese layer, approximately 30 minutes.
