Three-Cheese Pizza with Caramelized Onions and Pimientos Recipe

Three-Cheese Pizza with Caramelized Onions and Pimientos Recipe

  • 1/2 cup drained sliced pimientos
  • 1/2 teaspoon wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 large onions, cut into thin slices
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 (12 inch) store-bought pizza shells, such as Boboli
  • 6 ounces fontina, sliced thin
  • 6 ounces Roquefort or other blue cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
  1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the pimientos with the vinegar and set aside.
  2. In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onions and salt and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the pimiento mixture.
  3. Divide the onion mixture between the 2 pizza shells. Top each with half of the fontina, Roquefort, and Parmesan.
  4. Bake the pizzas directly on the oven rack (for a crisper crust) or on two baking sheets until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes.
