Pear & Fig & Caramelized Onion Flatbread
Ingredients
  • Pizza Crusts (see notes below)
  • 1 Tbs fig spread (such as Dalmatia)
  • 1 ripe pear (I like Anjou or Bosc), peeled, cored and sliced thin
  • ½ cup caramelized onions (see notes below)
  • 5 dried figs, sliced thin
  • ¼ cup Gorgonzola cheese crumbles
  • freshly ground pepper
  • Kosher salt
  • fresh thyme
  • Balsamic Vinegar (optional)
Instructions
  1. Prepare pizza crust according to directions.
  2. Preheat oven to 425.
  3. Spread a thin layer of fig spread on pizza crust. Arrange pear slices, caramelized onions and figs over top. Sprinkle with cheese. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Place pizza directly on oven rack, and bake until cheese melts and ingredients are heated through, about 8 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar if desired.
  6. Pizza crusts: You can buy prepared crusts in the deli or dairy section of your grocery store. If purchasing dough, prepare according to package directions. I make grilled pizza crusts in advance and use those. That recipe is below.
  7. Caramelized onions: Thinly slice one large onion. Heat 1 Tbs. olive oil in skillet over medium high heat. Add onions, and stirring frequently, cook until softened and beginning to brown. You can also grill onions, or spread on a baking sheet and cook in 400 degree oven, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes. Onions not used in this recipe freeze really well, or make a great addition to soups or pastas.
