Caramelized Onion and Fontina Pizza
Caramelized Onion is sweet where fontina is earthy, 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. A buttery, semi-soft Alpine cheese that melts into a silky, nutty layer of golden richness. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
