Photo: Pizzettes with Caramelized Onions, Goat Cheese, and Prosciutto Recipe
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.

I hosted a Venetian-themed cocktail party and these were the biggest hit!! I cooked the onions for like 90 minutes on the lowest heat on my stove. They barely need any attention. I would just stir every five or 10 minutes. My husband rolled out the dough and it did look time consuming, but the rest was easy. I skipped the prosciutto b/c someone else brought a meat and cheese platter. I don't think it was needed, they were amazing without it. I also only used a sprinkle of salt instead of a teaspoon and it was fine...

Good recipe, but very time consuming. I made it for a Christmas appetizer and spent way much more time than I had expected. From caramelizing the onions to rolling out the dough to assembling each pizza it took over an hour. Then end result was good but Giada has better recipes that are much quicker! Probably won't make again.

Interesting and different. I made them for Christmas and one of my cousins raved about them, describing them as a "symphony in my mouth".
