Crimini, Onion and Bleu Cheese Ultra-Thin Pizza
Serves 2
1. Preheat oven as directed on the package.
2. Slice one-half Vidalia onion into 1/8 inch thick slices, and then quarter those.
3. Clean and slice 8 ounces crimini mushrooms.
4. Heat a 10″ non-stick skillet over med-high heat. Spray with cooking spray, add onions.
5. Saute onions until golden brown and caramelized (6-10 minutes.) In the last minute, add 2-4 cloves smashed and minced garlic. Remove from heat, cover to keep warm.
6. In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add mushrooms. Toss frequently. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Saute until the mushrooms become soft and have released a lot of their water.
7. While mushrooms cook, prepare the Golden Home Ultra Thin pizza crust. Evenly coat the surface with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with 1/8 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
8. Layer the onions evenly over the cheese. Top with mushrooms.
9. Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup bleu cheese over mushrooms. (I was able to use sliced BleuJack cheese, the amounts are the same.)
10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is brown.
Note: In my photo, I actually have two versions. The left half is made with mozzarella replacing the bleu for my wife. The right half is made according to the above recipe.
