Caramelized Onion and Blue Cheese Pizza
Caramelized Onion is sweet where blue cheese is tangy, and a shared savory and rich streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Slowly caramelized onions add a deep, jammy sweetness with savory undertones. Bold, pungent blue cheese crumbles add an unmistakable tangy depth and creamy richness to pizza. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
