White Pizza with Caramelized Onions and Crispy Basil! This is my personal FAVORITE pizza combo in the world. A cheesy white pizza topped with CRISPY basil that is out of this world.

  • Prep Time: 10 mins
  • Cook Time: 10 mins
  • Total Time: 20 mins

Yield: Makes 1 small pizza 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 small red onion, sliced thin
  • 1/2 small white onion, sliced thin
  • 1 pizza crust of choice (we used a frozen gluten-free one)
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup ricotta salata, shredded
  • 5 basil leaves, sliced thin into strips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees (or whatever the dough instructions say!)
  2. Grease a large skillet with some oil and add the onions and cook over medium heat for about 5-8 minutes, or until caramelized. I also like to do this ahead of time and let them simmer covered to really caramelize
  3. Place the pizza crust on a pizza stone or baking sheet
  4. Add the mozzarella slices and the shredded mozzarella to the pizza crust then sprinkle onions on top (use desired amount)
  5. Cook in oven for about 8 minutes or until cheese is ready
  6. While pizza cooks, grease a small skillet with some oil and cook the basil strips over medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally then remove from heat
  7. Top the pizza with ricotta salata and crispy basil, slice and enjoy!

Notes

*Store leftovers in fridge for 5 days
