Cooking Steps

Cook Onion
1
  • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4), and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, 8-10 minutes.

  • In the last minute of cooking, add 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4) and stir until onion is jammy. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, halve, core, and thinly slice pear. Roughly chop walnuts.

Toast Flatbreads
3
  • Place flatbreads on a baking sheet and bake on top rack until lightly toasted, 5-7 minutes. (For 4 servings, divide between two baking sheets; toast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through toasting.)

Cook Pear
4
  • While flatbreads toast, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for onion over medium-high heat. Add pear and cook until softened and slightly browned, 2-3 minutes per side.

Make Salad
5
  • In a large bowl, toss arugula with half the balsamic glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble & Broil Flatbreads
6
  • Remove flatbreads from oven and set broiler to high.

  • Carefully top flatbreads with Caesar dressing, onion, Italian cheese blend, pear, walnuts, and as many chili flakes as you like.

  • Return to top rack and broil until cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes (for 4 servings, broil in batches).

Finish & Serve
7
  • Drizzle flatbreads with as much remaining balsamic glaze as you like. Top with salad and cut into pieces.

  • Divide between plates and serve.
