Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 large onions, sliced (about 4 cups)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon herbs de Provence
1 teaspoon sugar
1 ball purchased pizza dough (about 12 to 16 ounces)
3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
2 to 3 ounces prosciutto (about 5 large slices), cut into 2 by 2-inch pieces
Parsley or rosemary sprigs, for garnish
Special equipment: 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter

Directions

In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over low heat. Add the onions, salt, pepper, herbs de Provence, and sugar. Stir to combine. Continue cooking over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and dark golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.

Roll out the pizza dough into a 1/4-inch-thick round. Using the cookie cutter, cut out 24 dough circles. Arrange the circles on a large heavy baking sheet. Place a small spoonful of the caramelized onions on each dough circle. Top with a small amount of goat cheese. Bake until golden and bubbly, about 10 minutes.

While still hot, top each pizzette with a piece of prosciutto. Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with sprigs of parsley or rosemary. Serve immediately.

pizza or snowballs?
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Since everyone else gave this recipe five stars, I am going to assume I did something wrong. I bought pizza dough from our... grocer, rolled it out and cut out the rounds. Put the pan into the oven with all the required ingredients, and after five minutes decided to peep in to see how things were going--all the little flat pizza had turned into snowballs and all the ingredients were sliding off onto the pan! I quickly took my spatula and flatten back into shape and added new ingredients. I packed them all up, without tasting one, and headed to my party. It was only later that I decided to sample one. Wow! they were like tiny disks--I suspect there are quite a few in potted plants and umbrella stands around my friend's house--they were dished out of sight as soon as possible. Read more

scrumptious snack
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this as an appetizer for XMas Eve and substituted with fillo dough cups and they flew off the plate! They are just as... delicious with mozzarrella if your guests do not like goat cheese. Giada is my favorite and I use all of her cookbooks daily. Love, love, love her elegant, classy dishes! Read more

Excellent !
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love the flavors in this dish. I've also tried these several different ways. The variation I like best is to cook them... with the procuitto thinly sliced and cut into small bits. I also found that with the store bought dough that I had needed to be "docked" or the pizzeette dough puffed up and became too thick. Read more

We LOVE this recipe and have varied from, it a few times and still delicious. We have used smoked Gouda and it is very tasty.... Tonight we've decide on Halvarti as a twist. Also, we've used crusty french bread baguettes --- also delicious.Read more
