Gluten Free Caramelized Onion White Pizza

Pizza is a wonderful thing.  I have to admit, I do miss the pizza I ate before finding out I was gluten intolerant.  This Gluten Free Caramelized Onion White Pizza helps me through the pain of my loss.  This is an amazing creamy pizza with a sweet onion topping.  I am not really that much of an onion lover, but the sweetness of these caramelized onions makes me forget I'm eating onions.  Cream cheese, olive oil and garlic is the base of this delicious pie.  I use the Udi's Pizza Crust to make it fast.  I actually really like Udi's Pizza crust, especially with this cream cheese base.  Udi's crust is like a thin crust pizza, but if you prefer a thicker pizza crust try the focaccia recipe on the blog.

Either way you make it, this Gluten Free Caramelized Onion White Pizza is really so good, and so easy to put together.  I keep a package of Udi's Pizza Crust in my freezer at all times because I never know when a craving for this pizza will hit!

3 Tbsp. olive oil divided
1/2 large sweet onion, finely sliced
1 Udi's Frozen Pizza Crust
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper

Heat oven to 425 degrees F.  Heat 1 Tbsp. of olive oil in pan on medium heat.  Add onions and sprinkle with a bit of salt, pepper and a small pinch of sugar and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender and golden brown.

Place pizza crust on baking sheet.  Mix garlic and remaining oil and spread onto crust with pastry brush.  Bake crust for 5-7 minutes or until crust is slightly softened in the middle and just starting to brown a bit.  Spread cream cheese onto warm crust until melted enough to spread over crust.  Top with remaining cheese, onions and crushed red pepper.  Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is browned and melted.
