One of my new favorites is pizza topped with fresh arugula. My favorite is plain cheese pizza with arugula on top, but this is a VERY close second. A wonderful combination! NOTE: Bacon and Onions can be prepared ahead of time. Ingredients:
4 slices bacon, chopped |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
12 cups onions, thinly sliced |
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped & divided |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 (12 inch) boboli pizza crusts |
1/2 cup gorgonzola, crumbled |
2 tablespoons walnuts, coarsely chopped |
1 cup arugula, trimmed |
Directions:
1. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 2 teaspoons drippings. Set bacon aside.
2. Add oil to bacon drippings in skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and sauté 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Stir in 1 teaspoon rosemary, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking 15 to 20 minutes or until onion is a deep golden brown, stirring frequently.
4. Preheat oven to 400°.
5. Place pizza crust on 12-inch pizza pan. Top with onion. Add cheese and walnuts; bake 7-10 minutes or until cheese melts.
6. Remove from oven; top with 1 teaspoon rosemary, reserved bacon and arugula.
