Sweet-cooked down onions, walnuts, and the bite of Gorgonzola have a natural affinity for one another making this a gorgeous gourmet pizza!
Ingredients
14 to 16 ounce pizza dough
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 lbs onions (3 large), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
Salt and Pepper, to taste
½ teaspoon thyme leaves
1 cup red wine
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ to 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil.
Instructions
Heat butter in 12" heavy skillet over medium-low heat until melted. Cook onions, salt, and pepper covered, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 8 minutes. Add red wine and thyme. Continue to cook on low until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 35 to 45 minutes. Cool.
Stretch dough into a roughly 12" by 10" rectangle and place on parchment paper, brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cover with onion confit and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Place a metal baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven while preheating.
Place parchment paper and pizza on the hot baking sheet. Bake for 9 minutes.
Sprinkle gorgonzola cheese on pizza and return to oven for 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
Serve immediately!
Notes
Onions can be cooked 1 day ahead and chilled. Pizza dough can be store bought or made from scratch.
Pizza is at its prime hot from the oven!
