Spinach, Egg Socca Pizza is a delicious, gourmet way to enjoy gluten free pizza! Socca flatbread, or farinata, is layered with sauteed spinach, crispy prosciutto, parmesan cheese, and a perfectly cooked egg on top.
Spinach, Egg Socca Pizza
With springtime finally here I get more excited about eating “springy” foods, such as asparagus, fresh peas, rhubarb, artichokes, and spinach.
This fresh, yet comforting, easy weeknight meal or savory brunch recipe is a perfect way to ring in the spring. It uses my favorite socca recipe for a quick and easy pizza crust.
My love affair with socca flatbread, or farinata, began with the The How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook. I make quick flatbreads for myself and layer it with my favorite ingredients, while the rest of the family makes pizza with traditional dough.
How to Make Socca / Farinata Pizza
Pizza night is a breeze using garbanzo bean (chickpea) flour. You can make a batch of farinata in minutes!
- Place cooked farinata on a piece of parchment paper and assemble toppings and cheese on top.
- Preheat oven to 500ºF with a pizza stone inside. (If you don’t have a pizza stone, a cast iron skillet may be used, but be careful transferring the pizza inside!)
- Once the oven and stone are hot, place parchment with assembled socca pizza on top (I use a pizza peel to easily slide it on), and bake for 5-7 minutes.
Alternatively, if you don’t have a pizza stone, the farinata pizza can be baked directly on the oven rack. Use a lower oven temperature of 425ºF.
Anything goes for socca pizza toppings, but here are some favorite recipes:
- Socca Pizza with Pear, Brie, Bacon
- Socca Pizza with Summer Squash and Feta
- Lemon Herb Farinata Pizza
- Chickpea Flour Pizza with Tomato and Parmesan
Spinach, Egg Socca Pizza is not a traditionalist’s take on pizza. It’s lightly sprinkled with parmesan cheese, rather than a mound of mozzarella, and is topped with a fried egg on top.
The uniqueness of flavors, though, makes this a dish you can serve at any meal! Use it for a quick weeknight dinner, hearty lunch, or savory breakfast.
