Directions
Gently heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it’s warming up, mix together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, chopped basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make a creamy basil mayo. Spread about half of this sauce over your pizza, then add the tomato slices on top. Pop the pizza in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. After that, take it out and scatter the arugula, spinach, and bacon over it. Put it back in the oven for another 5 minutes so everything gets nicely warmed through. Once it’s done, top the pizza with sliced avocado and drizzle the rest of the basil mayo over the whole thing. Enjoy!
How To Plate This Dish
Serve warm with a simple green salad or a side of roasted vegetables. A light white wine or sparkling water with lemon pairs well to balance the richness of the mayo and bacon.
Storage & Reheating
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven or toaster oven to keep the bread crisp without drying out the toppings.
