8 ounces goat cheese, sliced or crumbled

Equipment Needed

Frying pan (optional – can use the Dutch oven)

3 small stones or jar rings (to elevate the pan from the base of the Dutch oven)

Elevate your campfire or backyard cooking game with this Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onion Pizzelle—a gourmet twist on classic pizza that brings rich, sweet, and tangy flavors together over hot coals or in a home oven.

Baked in a Dutch oven for even heat and rustic charm, this recipe uses the previously shared Pizzelle Crust for a crisp base that holds up beautifully under gooey cheese and caramelized onions.

Cooking Steps

1
Make your pizzelle dough and stretch it to fit a 10- to 12-inch round pizza pan. Brush the crust with olive oil and set aside.
2
In a frying pan or directly in the Dutch oven, sauté sliced onions in olive oil until they are golden brown and caramelized (15–20 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess moisture to avoid a soggy crust.
3
Spread the caramelized onions over the crust. Top with tomato slices (if using) and goat cheese.
4
Place three stones or jar rings at the bottom of the Dutch oven. Set the pizza pan on top. Cover and bake at 325°F (top and bottom heat using coals or oven) for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is cooked through and cheese is melted and lightly browned.
5
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Pairs beautifully with a fresh garden salad or a chilled glass of white wine if you’re glamping!
