Onion Ricotta Pizza

I don't normally do vegetarian, but for onions & ricotta I will make an exception.

Yield: 1 12-inch Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 medium white onion
• 1 tbsp butter
• Pizza dough
• 1/4 - 1/3 cup tomato sauce
• 3/4 tsp thyme
• 1/8 - 1/4 cup corn
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of pepper
• 2 tbsp oregano
• 1/3 cup ricotta cheese

Directions

1. Slice the onion thinly.  Saute with 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat until they begin to caramelize.  Remove from the heat and set aside.
2. Roll the dough out into a 12-inch thin-crust pizza.  Drizzle with some olive oil and spread with your fingers to coat.
3. Bake the crust at 425°F for 7-8 minutes.  Remove from the oven.
4. Spread the tomato sauce over the crust.  Top with the caramelized onions, followed by thyme, corn, and salt & pepper.
5. In a small bowl, combine the oregano and ricotta cheese and mix well.  Drop as dollops onto the pizza.
6. Bake at 450°F for 12-13 minutes.  Remove from the oven and serve warm.
