Caramelized Onion Pizza's

I make these a lot. I don't like meat on pizza, and I'm not really fond of tomato sauces either, so this is my favorite pizza. The sweetness of the onions is great with the mozzarella and the pesto.

SERVES 3 , 3 small pizzas (change servings and units)

    Cut onion into thin slices.
  2. 2

  5. 5
    Spread pesto sauce on each pizza shell.
  6. 6
    Top with onions.

    Top with cheese.

We love pizza in my household and make it every Sunday evening. I made some homemade pesto from the garden basil last Summer, so I've been looking for recipes using pesto this is a tasty keeper Miss Erin!! Like others, I omitted the sugar. I used a very large Vidalia onion carmelized in olive oil. Since I was a kid, we've made the crust with Pillsbury Hot Roll mix. Just follow the directions on the box for an excellent thick or thin crust.

    Wow! These are soooooo tasty, quick, and easy! I used sun-dried tomato pesto and a vidalia onion. I did find them to be extra-extra-cheesy, but that will be easily fixed next time. I am going to try freezing one and see how it reheats--if it goes well, I will have these in my freezer from now on for a quick meal. Made for ZWT 3 Zingo game. Thanks for posting! Edited to add that I just ate the one from the freezer and it was just as good as the day I made it! I thawed partially in the microwave, and then popped in the toaster oven until hot, but I probably could have just baked it from frozen. I will definitely be making more of these for my freezer!

    This was really tasty! I changed the ingredient amounts...I used 2 onions and only 1/2 the sugar. I will skip the sugar altogether next time as I found it a little sweet. I topped mine on a Chappati Bread Round. Reviewed for ZWT3
