Whoa.
That was my initial reaction as I took my first bite of thisCaramelized Onion and Mushroom Pizza.
The ingredient list is so simple, I wasn’t expecting SUCH a flavor bomb of deliciousness.
I mean, of course I thought it was going to be delicious, I mean, helllloooo we’re talkin’ about pizza here, but I mean this is like really really REALLY good pizza.
This would be perfect for your Friday Night Pizza Night dinner, a Meatless Monday leftover lunch, or even as a great, easy holiday appetizer.
Really.
You could and should just eat thisCaramelized Onion and Mushroom Pizza for all your meals.
Trevor’s definitely one of those people that could eat pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
We typically get take-out or delivery once a week and while I like to mix it up with Thai, Chinese, and Indian Food, Trevor’s first choice would ALWAYS be pizza.
Me?
If I’m going to eat pizza, I’d rather skip the delivery and make homemade pizza instead.
ThisCaramelized Onion and Mushroom Pizza Recipe, for example, tastes WAY better than delivery, and it’s *almost* as easy. 🙂
As all good pizza’s do, this pizza recipe starts with a killer crust.
Today, we’re using onepackage of Pillsbury’s Best™ refrigerated thin crust pizza dough.
You guys.
This crust is legit.
Typically I’m not a thin crust pizza kinda girl, but this crust honestly blew me away.
It’s SO convenient, because all you need to do is unroll it, brush it with a little oil, and bake it in the oven. It even comes wrapped inparchment paper that you can bake on. #easycleanupwinning Best yet, it’s fresh and made with clean ingredients!
While the crust is baking, you’ll make the caramelized onion mushroom topping <– drool.
- Melt butter in pan.
- Add in onions and cook for a few minutes.
- Add in a little more butter.
- Throw in some mushrooms and cook for a few minutes.
- Add in garlic, salt, pepper and that’s it!
By that time, your crust with have finished baking, so you’ll remove it from the oven and top it with the onion/mushroom mixture. Top THAT with baby spinach, parmesan, and mozzarella, and throw the pizza in the oven again until the cheese is golden, melty, and delicious!
The last two steps are easy:
- Garnish with fresh thyme and crushed red pepper flakes
- Devour the entire pizza in one sitting <– not speaking from experience or anything. 😉
As you can see, this pizza is quick and easy and I PROMISE you, you’ll be as blown away by the flavor as I am.
I absolutely LOVE the sweet caramelized onions with meaty mushrooms, garlic, gooey cheese, and the finishing touch of thyme really brings it all together.
Easy. Flavor bomb. Pizza.
What more is there in life?
