Fig, Carmelized Onion, Goat Cheese, Parmesan & Arugula Pizza



Oh man, is this so good!!!  I recreated a flatbread appetizer from one of our favorite restaurants and made a pizza with the same ingredients.  It turned out amazingly delicious!

Preheat oven to 400.  Roll out premade or homemade pizza dough into a rectangle then transfer onto a baking sheet.  Pop it in the oven until slightly brown and crisp.

Meanwhile, saute one large onion in some butter and olive oil until carmelized (soft and brown).   I add salt and a tsp. of sugar to help the carmelization process.

Once onions are ready, spread some fig preserves or fig butter (Trader Joe's)  as the pizza "sauce"on top of the baked pizza dough.  Then spread the onion on top followed by chunks of goat cheese and thin slivers of aged parmesan cheese. 

Put back in the oven for another 5 minutes or until all cheese is melted.  Remove from oven and top with a few handfuls of fresh arugula.  It will wilt just enough to stay put as you take huge bites.  It's so good!
