Gorgonzola & Caramelized Onion Pizza Recipe

This elegant combination makes a charming lunch with an endive salad. Gorgonzola is made in two varieties: a creamy and softer Gorgonzola Dolce, and a tangier, harder, stronger, more blue-veined Gorgonzola that is aged for a longer period (shown in the photo below). Serves 4.

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. In a sauté pan over high heat, brown onions until caramelized; set aside to cool.
3. Spread mascarpone evenly over pizza crust. Place cooled caramelized onions on cheese. Sprinkle Gorgonzola and pecans over top.
4. Bake 6 to 9 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and cheese is hot.
