Fontina and Caramelized Onion Pizza
Fontina is earthy where caramelized onion is sweet, and a shared rich and savory streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
A buttery, semi-soft Alpine cheese that melts into a silky, nutty layer of golden richness. Slowly caramelized onions add a deep, jammy sweetness with savory undertones. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
