Ingredients
1 big yellow onion or 2 smalls, finely sliced
4 tbsp of olive oil
2 tbsp of white all-purpose flour
1 cup of unsweetened plant-based beverage or lactose free milk
One pinch of ground nutmeg
1 garlic clove, minced
1 ½ cup of Saputo’s Lactose Free Mozzarellissima cheese, shredded
1 pizza dough, homemade or store-bought*
250g-300g of brussels sprouts, finely sliced*
Lemon zest to garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the caramelized onions. In a big pan over medium-low heat, sauté the sliced onion with 2 tbsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Set aside.
- In the same pan, prepare the cheese sauce. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil with the flour on medium heat. Mix well and cook for about 2 minutes. When a paste starts to form, pour the milk gradually while whisking constantly. Bring to a boil. When the sauce starts to thicken, remove from the heat and add the nutmeg, the minced garlic and ½ cup of shredded cheese. Mix well and season to taste. Add more milk if needed, depending on the consistency.
- Preheat the oven to 450 F and place the grill in the middle.
- Assemble the pizza. Roll out the pizza dough onto a big baking pan or pizza stone. Spread the cheese sauce on top of the pizza. Add the caramelized onions and the sliced brussels sprouts. Garnish with 1 cup of shredded cheese and season well.
- Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden.
- Garnish with lemon zest.
Notes
- You can make it on naan breads for a quick dinner option.
- Sliced brussels sprouts: start by cutting the base of each brussel sprout. Finely slice lengthwise.
