Wild Mushroom, Carmamelized Onion, Fontina, and Rosemary Pizzette

October 30, 2014 by Tonja Leave a Comment

I brought this appetizer to a neighborhood gathering this summer and it was a hit! I had forgotten how absolutely delicious it is. The flavors are beautiful and sophisticated, but it was still a fun comfort food, like pizza should be.  Wild mushrooms and rosemary have that earthly flavor that melds beautifully with creamy, nutty tasting Fontina cheese.  Pair with the sweetness of caramelized onions and every bite will make you groan with happiness.

I buy my pizza dough at Trader Joes or Broders in Minneapolis.  Or make your own if you like.
