Pear and Prosciutto Pizza

• Preheat the oven to 450°.
• In a nonstick skillet, heat oil and add onions. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for three minutes.
• Remove the lid and cook for ten minutes more until the onions turn golden.
• Line a pan with baking sheet and place the pizza crust in it.
• Smear the onion mixture on the crust and top it with cheese.
• Put the finishing touches with pear and prosciutto.
• Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 12 minutes. (Since the crust is premade and the prosciutto doesn’t need any cooking, the pizza will bake in a few minutes.)
• Take the pizza out of the oven and let it cool down for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with nuts.
• In a bowl, place the arugula leaves and drizzle vinegar over them. Toss gently and top the pizza with them.

Cut the pizza into eight wedges and enjoy!
