Oh, you fancy huh?

Hello there!  So, this will be kind of a short one because I made a promise to myself to go to sleep before 1 o'clocky tonight.  And I took a sleeping pill, so hopefully this recipe remains more coherent than the St. Patty's Day one.  All right!

Goat Cheese and Arugula Pizza with Caramelized Onions

1 (8 oz.) package of goat cheese
2 small handfuls arugula (also known as "rocket")
1/2 red onion (roughly chopped)
3-4 basil leaves
olive oil
1 pizza crust (or you can make your own if you're not lazy)
pepper

1.  Preheat the oven to the temperature your pizza crust package tells you to turn it to.  Mine said 425 degrees.
2.  Put the oil and onions in a medium skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and caramelized, about 7-10 minutes.

 3.  Put pizza crust on a pizza pan or baking sheet, and lightly brush the edges of the pizza crust with olive oil.

4.  Sprinkle goat cheese all around pizza, but leave about an inch to an inch and a half uncheesed around the edges.  Then sprinkle the arugula (rocket), basil leaves, and caramelized onions all over the pizza.  Crank some pepper on that puppy.
5.  Bake the pizza for about 8-10 minutes (or whatever the pizza crust package tells you) and enjoy!

 

This is so effortlessly, deliciously awesome.  And it's so easy to make.  And it's really not too unhealthy for you... as long as you're sharing.  Goodnight you princes of Maine, you kings of New England.
