Caramelized Onion Pizza with Taleggio cheese


It's Pizza time! Making pizzas are fun because you can be creative, and really the world is your oyster when it comes to toppings. I like to keep toppings simple- usually not more than 2 ingredients as a rule. I discovered Taleggio cheese on a ski tip to Tahoe with a huge group of people, and I really began to appreciate cheese as an ingredient on its own. Yes yes, I'm a late bloomer when it comes to cheese. I'm going to try experimenting more with types of cheese from now on though. Ok, so this is one of two pizzas I'm going to post separately.

Pizza dough- I happen to love Pizza dough at Whole foods. I normally try making my own, but their dough is so good, I've given up on making my own.

2 medium onions
taleggio cheese to top


Roast onions in olive oil until they are light brown in color. They should be slightly sweet. Add a tinge of salt if you want. Roll the pizza dough into the desired shape. Sprinkle the caramelized onions and finish off with a generous layer of the Taleggio cheese. Bake for 15 minutes at 400 F.
