Caramelized Onion and Bacon Pizza

It has layers of sweet caramelized onions and gruyere cheese topped with tender potatoes and crispy bacon. A delicious way to mix up pizza night and serve something you'll be craving time and time again.

Ingredients needed:

1 lb pizza dough

4 slices uncooked bacon cut into 1" pieces

3 yellow onions sliced ½" thin

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 teaspoon salt

5 sprigs fresh thyme

3 cloves garlic sliced

½ lb gruyere cheese grated

¼ lb yukon gold baby potatoes

1-2 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling

Directions:

1. Cook the bacon. Add the bacon to your pan and cook over medium-high heat until crispy. About 10-15 minutes. Leave the bacon fat in the pan.

2. Caramelize the onions.

3. In the same pan that you cooked the bacon, reduce heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Once the butter is melted, add in the sliced onions and stir to combine.

4. Cook stirring occasionally for 10 minutes, then sprinkle in the salt.

5. Cook for another 15 minutes then add in the sprigs of thyme.

6. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes. Add in about 1 tablespoon water at a time if it starts to look dry.

7. Then add in the garlic and cook for 5 more minutes.

8. Assemble the pizza. Drizzle a light layer of olive oil on your baking sheet. Using your fingers or a rolling pin, stretch out the pizza dough just about to the edges. Drizzle with about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Layer half the onions down first, followed by half the cheese. Then layer on the rest of the onions followed by the rest of the cheese. Top with the potatoes and drizzle with a little olive oil.

9. Bake at 425℉ for 15 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

10. When the pizza is done in the oven, finish by sprinkling with fresh thyme and the cooked crispy bacon.
