figgy-ness

I love figs. They are my Favorite Fruit of My Whole LIfe. This is a great appetizer for a yummy fall party that I made twice in the last week. (Twice! It was SO GOOD!)

Fig and Caramelized Onion PIzza

Ingredients:
1 pre-made dough from Trader Joes (or be fancy and make your own!)
1 medium red or yellow onion
7-10 small figs or 4-6 large ones
Honey
Olive Oil
Feta
Salt & Pepper

Pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees and let your dough rest outside of the fridge.
Slice onion in half and then into 1/4 inch strips (lengthwise).
Saute onions in olive oil over medium-low heat, adding a pinch of salt and pepper along with a drizzle of honey until golden-brown (about 15- 20 minutes).
While onions cook, stretch dough and place on stone/sheet.
Cut figs into quarters or halves.
Brush a small amount of olive oil over dough.
Spread caramelized onions over pizza, press figs in gently, sprinkle generously with feta.
Bake for 12-17 minutes.
Enjoy!

It's quite a pretty result if you can use purple figs and golden onions, but it's just as yummy with other varieties as well. Yay for fall!
