Caramelize Onions:

Add Sugar:
- Once the onions are caramelized, sprinkle brown sugar over them and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes. This will enhance their sweetness and flavor.

Spread Pesto Sauce:
- Take each pizza shell and spread a generous amount of pesto sauce evenly over the surface. This will provide a flavorful base for your toppings.

Top with Onions:
- Once the pesto sauce is applied, evenly distribute the caramelized onions over each pizza shell. Make sure to spread them out for maximum flavor in every bite.
-
Add Cheese:
- Now, it’s time to sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the onions, covering the entire surface of each pizza.
-
Bake:
- Place the assembled pizzas in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 9 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the pizzas are warmed through.
