Ingredients

2 Tbsp butter

2 Tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling

2 large onions, thinly sliced

Salt and freshly ground pepper

1 pizza dough, from your favorite pizza shop or store-bought

1/4 lb sliced prosciutto, cut into strips

1 cup grated fontina cheese

1/4 pound gorgonzola cheese, crumbled into small pieces

4 Tbsp chopped sage

1/2 cup crushed walnuts

1 tsp. sugar

Caramelized Onion Pizza

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the butter and 2 turns of the pan of olive oil, about 2 tablespoons. Add the sliced onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook; stirring frequently for 20-25 minutes or until very brown and caramelized. Add sugar with just 5 minutes left on your cook time. Remove from skillet and let cool slightly.

Drizzle a little olive oil on to the pizza dough and pull and stretch until almost the same size as the baking sheet pan. Drizzle the baking sheet pan with olive oil, then set crust in place. Poke the pizza dough in several areas with the tines of a fork.

Season the dough with salt and pepper, and spread the caramelized onions on top. Top the onions with the prosciutto, then the fontina and gorgonzola cheese. Then sprinkle the crushed walnuts and sage evenly.

Transfer to the oven and bake until the dough is cooked through and the cheese melts, about 20 minutes. Remove, cut into portions and serve.

Return.
