Four-Onion Pizza With Goat Cheese
For this recipe, I wanted to celebrate the many shades of onions. By combining these four different varieties with a generous serving of fresh goat cheese, one could not dream up a more aggreeable smathering of toppings.

Ingredients
- 1 portion of pizza dough at room temperature
- 8 ounce shallots, thinly sliced
- 4 ounce fresh goat cheese
- 1/2 bunch chives, thinly sliced
- 3 leeks, white parts only, sliced thinly
- 1 dash of red pepper flakes
- 5 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place yellow onion and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes, or until onions are soft and caramelized.
- Meanwhile, flatten pizza dough with your fingertips on a lightly floured surface. Forming a rectangle, continue to stretch the dough until it is about 12 inches long and 8 inches wide, or slightly smaller than a standard-size baking pan. Transfer the dough carefully to parchment-paper-lined baking sheet or pan. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 ounces of goat cheese, and red pepper flakes evenly atop the dough. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, turn the heat up to medium and add leeks and shallots. Cook 5-10 minutes or until the onions have softened.
- After 10 minutes of baking, remove pizza dough from oven. Top with onion mixture and remaining goat cheese, then sprinkle with chives. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until brown and crisp at edges.
- Bon appetit!
