Ingredients
  

  • 2 yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 1 bag of pizza dough from Trader Joe’s or any store-bought pizza dough
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach washed and chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 3/4 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro Optional

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Sauté the Onions:

  • Prep your onions by peeling and thinly slicing them.
  • Choose a skillet or large frying pan with a flat bottom. A non-stick pan works well.
  • Heat the pan over medium heat.
  • Add a combination of unsalted butter and olive oil to the pan. The butter adds richness, while the olive oil prevents it from burning.
  • Let the butter melt and coat the pan.
  • Place the thinly sliced onions in the pan.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the onions to draw out moisture and enhance flavor.
  • Stir the onions occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Cook the onions over medium-low heat. The slow cooking process allows the natural sugars in the onions to caramelize gradually.
  • The onions will soften, release moisture, and start to turn golden-brown.
  • Caramelizing onions takes time—usually around 30-40 minutes.
  • Continue stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • If the onions start to stick, you can add a splash of water or broth to deglaze the pan.
  • As the onions cook, they will transform from pale yellow to a rich, caramel color.
  • Taste the onions and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add a touch more salt or even a pinch of sugar for extra sweetness.

Prepare the Pizza Dough:

  • Layer the Ingredients
  • Brush the pizza dough with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle garlic powder evenly over the dough.
  • Spread the caramelized onions over the dough.
  • Scatter the chopped fresh spinach on top.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the spinach.

Create Wells for Eggs:

  • Make four small wells in the cheese-spinach mixture using the back of a spoon.
  • Crack an egg into each well.

Bake the Pizza:

  • Carefully transfer the baking sheet or pizza stone to the preheated oven.
  • Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.

Season and Serve:

  • Remove the pizza from the oven.
  • Season with a pinch of salt.
  • Slice and serve immediately.
  • Peel and thinly slice the onions. Uniform slices ensure even caramelization.
  • Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  • Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
  • Brush the pizza dough with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle garlic powder evenly over the dough.
  • Spread the caramelized onions over the dough.
  • Scatter the chopped fresh spinach on top.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the spinach.
