Ingredients
  

  • 4 Sweet Yellow Onions Thinly Slices
  • 2 TB Unsalted Butter
  • 2 TB EVO
  • 2 Tsp EVO
  • 1 TB Brown Sugar
  • 10 inch Plain Thin Pizza Crust
  • 1 Cup Mozzarella Shredded
  • 1 Lb Wild Mushrooms (Cremini, Shitake, Oyster) Sliced
  • 1 TB Fresh Thyme
  • Shaved Pecorino Cheese
  • White Truffle Oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. While the oven is heating, prepare the caramelized onion puree.
  • In a heavy bottom pot over medium-low heat, add the 1 TB EVO, butter, and onions and gently cook for 12-15 minutes until softened and golden.
  • Sprinkle with brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Only if the onions seem to be drying out, add a little warm water to the pot.
  • Cook for a few more minutes. Place the onion mixture in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth or creamy.
  • In a large sauté pan on medium-high heat, add 1 TB EVO, unsalted butter, and mushrooms with a pinch of salt and sauté for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and still slightly tender.
  • Using a parchment lined baking sheet, lay the 10" pizza crust and brush 2 tsp EVO over the crust.
  • Coat the crust with the onion puree, top with mozzarella cheese, then the sautéed mushrooms and thyme.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until slightly golden and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and while hot, add the shaved pecorino cheese and drizzle with white truffle oil. Enjoy!
