How to Make Pear And Prosciutto Pizza With Caramelized Onions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  3. Add 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, and cook, stirring frequently, until very soft and golden brown (about 20-25 minutes). Stir in 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and cook for another 5 minutes.
  4. Place two 12-inch pizza crusts on a large baking sheet.
  5. Evenly distribute 8 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese over each crust. Top with the caramelized onions, 2 ripe pears (thinly sliced), 4 ounces of thinly sliced prosciutto, and 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves.
  7. Let cool slightly before slicing. Cut into 4 main dish servings or 16 appetizer servings.
