Specialty Recipe

Caramelized Onion
and Blue Cheese Pizza

Ingredients

2 medium onions

2 Tablespoons butter

1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar

3 Tablespoons brown sugar

1 pizza thin crust

1/4 cup roasted garlic puree

4 ounces of blue cheese

2 Tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (drained if packed in oil)

Thinly slice onions and place in a heatproof dish. Dot with butter; add vinegar and brown sugar. Bake onions, covered with foil, for approximately 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Stir and continue cooking until brown and caramelized. Can be made 2 days ahead -- just cover and chill. When ready to use, bring to room temperature.

Spread garlic puree over unbaked crust. Cover with caramelized onions and bake at 450 degrees for about 13 minutes. Add crumbled blue cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, and cook until cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Cut into slices and serve.
