CEiMB: Caramelized Onion & Goat Cheese "Pizza"

I really think pizza needs to be in quotation marks for this recipe. It is a pizza? That's up for debate, but it's delicious, so who cares? I don't really care what it's called because this is a splendid lunch. I've been complaining a lot about lunch lately. I get really bored with lunch options, I don't like leftovers, and I generally end up eating cereal and an apple and feeling rather discontent. My solution to this has been to make some bean and rice burritos with whole wheat tortillas, but this pizza is an awesome addition to my lunch rotation.

This "pizza" is supposed to be composed of caramelized onions, arugula, and goat cheese. As you can see, my "pizza" is minus the leafy greens. This wasn't intentional, it's just that I've forgotten to pick up spinach and/or arugula on each of my trips to the grocery store. I really wanted to make this recipe, and I would have personally loved just the onions and the goat cheese, but the whole point of pizza is being able to change up the toppings, right? I have a fridge full of veggies right now so I added some sliced sweet bell peppers and some sliced sugar snap peas. I know the sugar snaps are sort of odd, but I was feeling the need for green on the pizza, and my choices were sugar snaps or romaine lettuce. I do know some people who like their romaine lettuce hot, but I'm not one of them (makes me gag a little thinking about it). Sugar snap peas, though, had some potential, so I thinly sliced a few and sprinkled them on top of the tortilla. Verdict:  seriously good. I love the extra crunch that the peppers and snap peas added to this pizza. I love goat cheese (any cheese, really) so I probably could've put the romaine on this tortilla and as long as the goat cheese was there, I'd have happily eaten it. I also sprinkled some fresh basil on top as I have some lounging in my fridge right now.

 This pizza is SO good. I loved eating it for lunch, and I think it will definitely become part of my lunch rotation. If I ever remember to pick up the proper leafy greens at the store, I may even try it as it was intended, without the willy nilly veggie substitutions. Thanks to Maria of Half Meatball Half Matzoh Ball Children for such a great pick this week! If you'd like to check out the recipe, you can visit her blog.
