Brie, Pear & Caramelized Onion Pizza

There are a million different ways to spice up a regular peperoni and cheese pizza.   One of the most recent recipes I posted was for a smoked salmon pizza (which is amazing ps for those of you who have yet to try that one out) and today, I am going to pass along another 'out of the box' pizza recipe for my fellow foodie readers who want to step out of the pizza box and get a little creative.  Now, before I share this one, I have to given a special thanks to Intern buddy since this baby is alllll hers.  I give her alllll the credit for this pizza gem.

You will need:

- ¾ of a medium wheel of double cream brie

- 1 flat bread (you can make the dough homemade too, but for simplicity sake, we will use a fresh, thin flat bread)

- 1 large onion (or 2 small onions)  - long thin slices

- 2 small bosc pears (sliced)

- 1 tsp sugar

- 1-2 tbsp butter

- pinch of salt

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.  In a small pan, melt your butter on medium heat and then add your onions and sugar.  Stir frequently letting your onions turn opaque in color and caramelize (about 4-5 minutes).  Top your flat bread with the onions and spread evenly. Next, place your pear in an even layer over then onions.  Using your hands, coarsely rip up your brie cheese in to 1-2 inch pieces and lay them over top the onions and pear.  Sprinkle the pizza with just a small pinch of salt and place in your hot oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

Cut up - serve & enjoy! :)

A fantastic fresh summer twist on homemade pizza!
