Ingredients

  

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 Large Onions
  • ½ tbsp Sugar (for caramelizing the onions)
  • ½ tbsp Salt
  • 1 Cup Mozzarella cheese
  • ½ Cup Cheddar cheese
  • ¼ Cup Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ Cup Goat cheese
  • ¼ tbsp Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Thyme (optional, for garnish)
  • Pre-made pizza dough
  • Flatbread or puff pastry (optional, depending on serving style)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Grater (for the cheeses)
  • Baking sheet (if using dough or puff pastry)
  • Oven (if baking)

Method

 

  1. Caramelize the onions:

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes. Once the onions begin to soften, sprinkle in the sugar and salt. Continue cooking for an additional 10-15 minutes until the onions become golden brown and caramelized. Stir frequently to prevent them from burning. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.

  2. Prepare the cheese mixture:

    While the onions are caramelizing, shred the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Grate the parmesan, and crumble the goat cheese. In a bowl, mix all four cheeses together. Add the black pepper and stir to combine.

  3. Assemble the dish:

    If using pizza dough, flatbread, or puff pastry, preheat your oven according to the instructions on the dough package (typically 400°F/200°C). Roll out the dough or pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the surface. Then, sprinkle the mixed cheeses on top of the onions, ensuring an even coating.

  4. Bake:

    If using dough, bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the dough or pastry are golden brown. If using a flatbread, baking time may be shorter, about 7-10 minutes.

  5. Serve:

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh thyme or any herb of your choice for added flavor and presentation.

  6. Enjoy:

    Slice into pieces and enjoy your rich, cheesy, and flavorful Four Cheese & Onions dish as a snack, appetizer, or a main course!
