1mediumonion(sliced thin and caramelized (Note 1))
1pre-baked thin pizza crust or flatbread(approx. 9-inch; such as Stonefire)
¼cupfig preserves
½-¾cupshredded mozzarella cheese
2 - 3ouncesblue cheese(crumbled)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Spread the fig preserves on the pre-baked flatbread. Top with mozzarella cheese and the caramelized onions. Add the blue cheese, reserving some for the top after baking.
Bake for 7-8 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are lightly brown. Top with the reserved blue cheese. Slice and serve.
Notes
To caramelize the onions: melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly over medium-low heat until soft and brown, stirring frequently. This takes 15-20 minutes.
You can make the caramelized onions ahead of time, so you can whip up this flatbread any time. Be sure to make a double (or triple) batch and keep them on hand in the refrigerator. You can add them to pizzas, sandwiches, soups, casseroles, and sauces.
