Caramelized Onion, Tomato, and Asiago Cheese Focaccia

Caramelized Onion, Tomato, and Asiago Cheese Focaccia

I loved the Olive and Tomato Focaccia that I recently made and I was excited to make it again using different ingredients. I decided to caramelize a little sweet onion and red onion together then top the focaccia with the onions, thin slices of tomatoes, and a sprinkling of shredded Asiago cheese. I loved this bread! My kids picked off some of the onion but otherwise liked it. My husband and both really, really LOVED this focaccia… I highly recommend this recipe.

How to Make a Caramelized Onion, Tomato, and Asiago Cheese Focaccia

Open the pizza dough and place it on a floured surface for 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with a bit of olive oil and spread it around the dish. Season the baking dish with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook,. stirring often, for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and very tender. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Gently need the dough a few times then stretch the dough out with your fingers and place it into the baking dish, pressing the dough down into the bottom of the dish. Use your fingers to punch tiny indentations into the top of the dough. Drizzle a little more olive oil on top of the dough then spread the caramelized onions evenly over the top, next sprinkle a bit of Asiago cheese over the onions, then finally layer with tomato slices and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

  1. This made me wish I had any dough left in the freezer. I can bet the oven roasted tomato tastes perfect on top of the crispy bread.
