Ingredients

  • large sweet onion
  • tablespoons olive oil
  • 6-8 small pita bread
  • large pear, ripe but firm
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • tablespoon butter
  • 2-3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme, divided
  • 1/2 lb gruyere or emmenthaler cheese (you can also use a mixture of your favourite cheeses, grated.)
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Peel and thinly slice onion. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, add onions. Lower heat as needed and saute, stirring often for 15-20 minutes or until wilted and golden.
    2. 2
      Peel, core and thinly slice pears. When onions are golden, stir in salt and pepper; remove from pan.
    3. 3
      Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
    4. 4
      Add butter to pan; return to medium heat.
    5. 5
      When bubbly, add pears and saute for 8-12 minutes, turning frequently until softened and lightly browned. Cool on plate.
    6. 6
      Lay out your pitas, and spread a small amount of grated cheese on each.
    7. 7
      Dividing equally, spread each round with onion, then add pear and thyme. Top with remaining cheese, and a little more freshly ground black pepper.
    8. 8
      Bake 10-12 minutes, or until pizzettes are golden. Serve right away, whole or cut in half topped with a sprinkling of thyme.
