If you love pizza nights but want something that feels a little more gourmet without all the fuss, this Caramelized Onion & Sausage Pizza is your new go-to. It’s sweet, savory, and just the right amount of fancy, but still comes together in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1 flatbread pizza or regular pizza dough (I love the one from Trader Joe’s!)
• 1 jar of bruschetta sauce or regular pizza sauce
• ¼ onion, sliced and caramelized
• 1 sausage link, removed from casing and cooked
• Mozzarella cheese, sliced or shredded
• Arugula, for topping
• Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions:

Prep your base:
Lay out your flatbread, pre-baked pizza crust, or rolled-out pizza dough on a baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of bruschetta or pizza sauce over the top.

Add the cheese:
Top the sauce with sliced or shredded mozzarella — whichever you prefer.

Layer on the flavor:
Add your caramelized onions (so sweet and golden!) and the cooked sausage.

Bake it up:
Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges are crisp.

Finish with freshness:
Remove from the oven and top with a handful of arugula. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, slice, and enjoy!
