How To Make pear and caramelized onion pizzette

  • 1

    Peel, core and thinly slice pears. When onions are golden, stir in salt and pepper; remove from pan.
  • 3
    Add butter to pan; return to medium heat.
  • 4
    When bubbly, add pears and saute for 8-12 minutes, turning frequently until softened and lightly browned. Cool on plate.
  • 5
    Lay out your pitas, and spread a small amount of grated cheese on each.
  • 6
    Dividing equally, spread each round with onion, then add pear and thyme. Top with remaining cheese, and a little more freshly ground black pepper.
  • 7
    Bake 10-12 minutes, or until pizzettes are golden. Serve right away, whole or cut in half topped with a sprinkling of thyme.
