Flat Bread Pizza with Arugula, Caramelized Onions, & Goat Cheese

The other night my husband and I were craving pizza.  Not the cheesy, doughy, greasy pizza but the kind of pizza that is light and crispy.  A pizza where the cheese doesn't overtake the ingredients and the toppings consist of something other than sausage.  Unfortunately for us, we have no good take out pizza where we live.  Everything is cheesy, greasy, and salty.  Well greasy, salty pizza that lacks in flavor from the local delivery store was absolutely no match for this stuff!

Inspired by a recipe from The Food Networks healthy eating guru Ellie Krieger this pizza was so simple and so delicious.  For the crust, I purchased a flat bread from Trader Joe's known as Lavash Bread.  It comes in whole wheat and when popped in the oven for about 10 minutes it becomes nice and crisp, almost like a giant cracker.

As I said earlier, we were feeling lazy and I wasn't in the mood to make a salad but I wanted some greens too.  So the pizza was topped with arugula, some caramelized red onions, and goat cheese.  Simple, tangy, and delicious!

Adapted from Ellie Krieger, The Food Network

1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil

2 Pieces of Flat Bread (Trader Joe's Lavash Bread)
1 Red Onion, Sliced
4 Cups of Arugula
3 Ounces of Goat Cheese, Crumbled
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Turn the oven to 400 degrees.  Slice the onion and add to a medium size saute pan with the olive oil.  Cook the onions over medium heat until they are soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.  Once caramelized add the arugula to the pan and stir until arugula begins to wilt slightly.  About 1 minute. Top the Lavash Bread with the onions, arugula, and goat cheese.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Place topped Lavash Bread directly onto the oven rack and cook for 10 minutes.  Serves 4 or 2 very hungry people.
