Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
• 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough
• ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
• 2 cups sliced Brussels sprouts
• 2 ounces prosciutto, diced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Step 2

Set pizza dough out to come to room temperature while other ingredients are prepared.

Step 3

Toss Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven until browned and tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven. Increase heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 5

While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook onion in the hot oil, stirring often, until very soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook for 2 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened and rich in color, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Form dough into a 14-inch wide circle. Brush remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil evenly over the dough. Arrange onions, Brussels sprouts, and prosciutto over top and sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and feta cheeses.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is browned and a bit crispy and the cheeses are melted, 13 to 15 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle with thyme and cut into 8 slices to serve.
