Pear & Fig & Caramelized Onion Flatbread |
- 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)
- Prepare pizza crust according to directions.
- Preheat oven to 425.
- 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.
- Place pizza directly on oven rack, and bake until cheese melts and ingredients are heated through, about 8 minutes.
- Sprinkle with fresh thyme and drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar if desired.
- 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.
- 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.
