Ingredients
2 (16-ounce) store-bought pizza dough
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 large onions, sliced
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 (8-ounce) container mascarpone cheese
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
1 cup firm California red grapes, slit down the middle
2 tablespoons freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
Directions
- Remove the pizza dough from the refrigerator 1 hour before you ready to start.
- In a large saute pan over medium low heat add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add onions and slowly caramelize until brown and creamy about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Heat the grill over medium-high heat and wipe down with oiled paper towels to create a non-stick surface. On a floured surface, roll out each of the pizza dough into an elongated shape, about 12 by 8-inches and about a 1/2-inch thick. Brush with olive oil and grill on both sides until warmed through and grill marked, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the mascarpone and blue cheese. Smear the cheese mixture over each of the grill pizza crusts. Place in oven for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts. Remove from oven and transfer to cutting board or platter.
- Top with caramelized onions, toasted walnuts and fresh grapes. Season with a few turns of freshly ground black pepper, drizzle with some more extra-virgin olive oil and top with fresh parsley.
