Ingredients
For the Flatbreads
- 4 personal sized flatbreads
- 1 cup prepared caramelized onions divided, recipe follows
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella torn
- 10 California Prunes diced small
- 1 TBSP fresh thyme leaves
- sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste
For the Caramelized Onions
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 8 TBSP butter
- 6 large yellow sweet onions sliced into thin half circles
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- coarse kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to broil. Toast the flatbreads, under the broiler on a sheet pan for 4 minutes or until toasted, flipping halfway through.
- Spread 1/4 of the caramelized onions over each toasted flatbread. Tear the mozzarella and place over the onions. Divide the prunes amongst the flatbreads and place the flatbreads under the broiler for for 4-6 more minutes until the cheese has melted and is beginning to brown.

To make the caramelized onions
- Preheat oven to 400F (205C) degrees.
- Warm the oil and melt the butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the onions to the pot and cover, cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the thyme sprigs, and turn the pan lid slightly ajar. Place the pot into the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to ensure the onions aren’t sticking or browning too much.
Notes
You will have more caramelized onions than you will need, store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
