I’m not afraid to admit it–I’m an onion girl. The more the better.

And the only thing better than regular onions? Caramelized onions. Oh yum.

Which is why this super simple and easy-to-make five ingredient flatbread is so stinkin’ delicious–it’s caramelized onion perfection. Oh sure, you can fancy it up with a little rosemary and feta if you want to, but the humble onion is the main attraction. The star of the show.

And perfect for onion girls like me.
