With sweet caramelized onion and tangy goat cheese, this pizza will have everyone asking for seconds.

Servings: 1 Pizza
Prep and cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 prepared 10-inch (or so) pizza crust
3/4 cup prepared tomato sauce
1 cup crumbled goat cheese
1 cup julienne roasted red bell peppers
1/2 cup whole basil leaves

Method:

In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil and add the onions, sauteing over medium-high heat with the lid on for 2 minutes and then for 8 minutes with the lid off or until the onion caramelizes. Toss in the garlic and cook another 2 minutes.
