Caramelized Onion & Gorgonzola Pizza
Description
Caramelized Onion & Gorgonzola Pizza uses a cauliflower-based crust as the foundation. The key preparation step is slowly cooking thinly sliced yellow onions in butter or coconut oil over medium heat until golden and soft, which extracts their natural sweetness. Once the pizza crust is pre-baked to crispness, it is topped with these caramelized onions, crumbled gorgonzola cheese, and a sprinkling of fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary. Returning the pizza to the oven melts the cheese and melds the toppings for a balanced flavor and tender texture.
The resulting pizza highlights a mix of sweet, savory, and slightly earthy notes, with the creamy yet assertive taste of gorgonzola standing out. The cauliflower crust provides a lower-carb base with a slightly nutty flavor and crisp edge. This combination offers a distinctive pizza experience compared to traditional wheat crust. Serving it warm allows the cheese to maintain its softness and the onions their caramelized depth.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil
- 1 yellow onion thinly sliced, large
- 1/2 cup gorgonzola cheese crumbles
- 1 cauliflower pizza crust
- thyme as desired, or rosemary, fresh
Instructions
- Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400F and prepare the cauliflower pizza crust using the recipe here. While the crust is baking, melt the butter or coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat and start to sauté the sliced onion.
- After about 20 minutes of occasional stirring, your onions should be soft and golden in color. (If the onions start to stick to the pan, use a splash of water to keep things moving.)
- This is about the time your pizza crust should be ready, so pull it out of the oven, and arrange the caramelized onions, Gorgonzola, and a sprinkling of fresh thyme or rosemary on top. Return to the oven to bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Slice and serve warm!
