Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pear, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Fresh thyme leaves (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Directions

Caramelize the Onions

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions with a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 25 minutes.

Prepare the Pizza Base

  • Preheat your oven to 475ยฐF (245ยฐC). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer to a baking sheet or pizza stone.

Assemble the Toppings

  • Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the pizza dough. Arrange the pear slices on top of the onions, then sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese and shredded mozzarella (if using). Season with a touch of salt and pepper.

Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Finish with Fresh Thyme and Balsamic Glaze

  • Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme leaves. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for an extra layer of flavor, if desired.
