Description
A simple pizza recipe featuring creamy goat cheese and sweet caramelized onions on a crisp crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (12 inch)
- 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce or olive oil base
- 1/4 cup fresh arugula
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply browned and soft.
- Stir in sugar during the last 5 minutes of cooking the onions. Remove from heat.
- Preheat your oven according to the pizza crust package directions, usually around 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the pizza sauce or olive oil base evenly over the crust, leaving a small border.
- Distribute the caramelized onions over the base.
- Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the onions.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is soft.
- Remove the pizza from the oven. Top with fresh arugula.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the pizza before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a thin layer of fig jam instead of pizza sauce as the base.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, place the pizza stone in the oven while it preheats.
