Pumpkin Hummus, Caramelized Onion and Fontina Cheese Pizzas

Best Cheese Pizza - Pizza

Use the pumpkin hummus recipe from this site to make this amazing pizza. I love to fool around in the kitchen and I came up with this pizza and my parents love it. For the onions, cut them from one root end to the others and then slice them in little strips between the roots. They will be narrower on the ends and this keeps them from disintegrating during the caramelizing and cooking process.

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions; cook and stir until they turn soft and begin to turn golden brown about 10 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar and continue cooking and stirring until the onions are deep brown about 10 minutes more. Pour in the balsamic vinegar and simmer until the vinegar has reduced and become syrupy.

Step 2

Meanwhile place the bacon in a large deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat turning occasionally until crisp and evenly browned about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate then crumble and set aside.

Step 3

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 4

To assemble the pizzas spread each piece of lavash with 1/2 cup of pumpkin hummus and place onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with about 1/4 cup of the caramelized onions. Top with some of the apple and crumbled bacon. Finally sprinkle with 1/2 cup of fontina cheese.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the pizza is hot and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown about 10 minutes.
