Ingredients

– 1 pound fresh pizza dough

– 2 cups mixed greens (I stuck mostly with arugula and baby spinach <

– 1 small onion (sliced and carmelized)

– 3 cups roasted butternut squash (diced into bite-sized pieces)

– 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

– 4 slices bacon (diced to bite sized pieces)

– balsamic reduction (recipe at end of post)

– 1 cup manchego cheese (grated and sprinkled on top) (parmesan or any other nutty, salt

– 1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese

 

Preparation

Preheat oven to highest internal temperature.

 

Caramelize the onion by sauteing it over medium heat in oil for about 10-15 minutes on the stove top. Fry bacon while you roll out pizza dough.

 

Break up mozzarella and distribute over rolled out pizza dough

 

Add onion and chopped bacon

 

Add bite sized pieces of squash

 

Add mixed greens

 

Add pine nuts

 

Drizzle balsamic reduction over everything

 

Sprinkle on manchego cheese (or alternative cheese)

 

Pop pizzas in oven (my oven goes to 550 degrees and pizzas take about 5 minutes to cook to my liking.)

 

Balsamic reduction: Boil 1 cup of balsamic vinegar in a small pot for a few minutes until it is reduced by half and thickened.
