Hi...
These pizzas turned out really good. I didn't grill them like the recipe stated....I didn't realize they were to be on the grill until I started preparing them!! Check out my note at the end of the recipe for how I did them.
Enjoy!

Caramelized Onion Pizza
Makes: 4 servings
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Grill: 1 minute, 5 minutes
Ingredients
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 6- to 7-inch whole wheat pita bread rounds
1 large tomato, quartered and sliced or 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup finely shredded Romano cheese (1 ounce)
1/4 cup small fresh basil leaves or shredded fresh basil
Directions
In a medium saucepan cook onion slices and garlic in hot olive oil over medium heat, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until onion is very tender, stirring occasionally; set aside.
For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around the edges of the grill. Test for medium heat in the center of the grill. Toast one side of each bread round directly over the coals for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from grill. Top toasted side of each bread round with onion mixture, sliced tomato, mozzarella cheese, and Romano cheese.
Return bread rounds to center of grill (not directly over coals). Cover grill. Grill for 5 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and toppings are heated through. Remove from grill and top with basil before serving.

Peg’s Note:
We did not do this on the grill (I didn’t even notice until I started preparing it!) I used premade pizza crusts ….I brushed the crust with some olive oil and then added the onion/garlic mixture, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and the Romano cheese. I baked at 425 for 7 to 10 minutes.
