BLT Pita Pizza with Caramelized Balsamic Onions & Arugula SaladBLT Pita Pizza with Caramelized Balsamic Onions & Arugula Salad — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 10 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ (142 g) pkg baby arugula

12 slices bacon

1 (227 g) block mozzarella cheese

1 ½ medium red onions

6 tomatoes

6 whole grain pitas

balsamic vinegar

black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Working in batches if necessary, add bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate.

While the bacon is cooking, peel, halve, and thinly slice onions into half moons.

Remove all but 3 tbsp of bacon fat from the skillet and return to medium heat. Add onions, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring often, until soft and golden, 6-8 minutes.

Meanwhile, wash, dry, and thinly slice tomatoes.

Coarsely grate the cheese.

When the onions are soft, add vinegar and continue to cook until reduced, 2-3 minutes more.

Arrange pitas on a large baking sheet pan and layer with tomatoes, onions, and cheese. Place in the oven and bake until cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, wash and dry arugula (skip this step if it came pre-washed).

Whisk together oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the arugula and toss to combine.

Crumble or chop bacon into small pieces.

To serve, divide pizzas between plates; top with bacon and arugula. Enjoy!
