RECIPE BY Southern Living

You can use more or less cheese depending on what you have available; substituting 2 (4-ounce) logs or most of an 11-ounce log works just fine.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium-size sweet onion, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 medium eggplant, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1 small zucchini, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (24-ounce) package prebaked pizza crusts
  • 1 (7-ounce) container refrigerated prepared pesto sauce
  • 1 (9-ounce) package goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts

How to Make It

Step 1

Toss onion with 1 teaspoon oil; arrange on an aluminum foil-lined jelly-roll or broiler pan.

Step 2

Bake at 425° for 20 minutes or until tender, stirring after 10 minutes.

Step 3

My husband and I loved these pizzas! I made one with pesto sauce and one with a spicy arrabiata sauce just to mix up the flavors a bit, and add some variety-both were really tasty. I felt as though the bake time on the veggies was too long-my onions were practically burnt to a crisp before I even added the other veggies. I had to recut and add more onion and toss out some of the charred ones (could have been because the onion I used was rather small and thin?). I just kept an eye on the veggies and took them out when they were nicely browned and starting to soften. I did the onions for about 10 mins, and then an additional 20 after adding the remaining veggies and cheese. I felt as though we could have added another handful of veggies to make each pizza a bit heartier, but it was pretty delicious as is! Will make again! Next time I may try a homemade crust!
