Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins
Servings: 10
Yield: 10 pizzas

Ingredients

  1. ¼ cup olive oil, or as needed
  2. 2 pounds onions, thinly sliced
  3. 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  4. ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
  5. ½ pound bacon
  6. 10 pieces lavash or other flatbread
  7. 5 cups pumpkin hummus
  8. 3 Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored and cut into matchsticks
  9. 5 cups shredded fontina cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions; cook and stir until they turn soft and begin to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, and continue cooking and stirring until the onions are deep brown, about 10 minutes more. Pour in the balsamic vinegar, and simmer until the vinegar has reduced and become syrupy.
  2. Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp and evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate then crumble and set aside.
  3. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  4. To assemble the pizzas, spread each piece of lavash with 1/2 cup of pumpkin hummus and place onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with about 1/4 cup of the caramelized onions. Top with some of the apple and crumbled bacon. Finally, sprinkle with 1/2 cup of fontina cheese.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until the pizza is hot and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 10 minutes.

I made these as an appetizer for Halloween. I used my pumpkin cookie cutter for the crust, and the jack-o-lantern face shapes on the apples. They were the most adorable food out. And the recipe is absolutely perfect. They were a hit at the Family party and were the first thing to disappear from the table.

This recipe is INCREDIBLE! A perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and salty. I made this for our dinner club, and everyone asked for the recipe. I used homemade pizza crust and store bought bacon bits. I made the pumpkin hummus by mixing equal amounts of hummus and canned pumpkin.

This was SO good and was a huge hit! Like others I used pre-made hummus and just added the pumpkin and spices to it. I used a pre-packaged, rectangular-shaped flatbread that I found in the bakery at Walmart. Since there are so many toppings on this, be sure whatever flatbread you use to bake it a bit before you add the toppings so it can crisp up. I didn’t do that so it wasn’t as crispy as I would like but everyone still loved it. I had to go to a different local grocery with a good cheese department to find the Fontina cheese. It came in a brick so I had to grate it myself but it was worth it. Melted beautifully and had just the right taste. The combination of these different flavors is really good. Just the right amount of savory and sweet. I will definitely make this again!

Like the other reviews, I really enjoyed the flavors of this dish. I did make a fairly substantial change (as shown in the photo). Instead of lavash bread, I used uncooked pizza dough, topped it with all of the ingredients and threw it in the oven. The finished pizza was delicious! Of course, if you’re only going to make one pizza, the ingredients should be scaled down to 1/4 of what the recipe calls for.

Awesome combination of flavors and great new addition to our make-pizza-at-home nights! A few suggestions as we modified by 1) making the quick hummus, 2) cutting recipe in half, and 3) placing on pizza dough. About 2/3 of the hummus/pumpkin mixture suggested is actually needed (2/3 of 16 oz container of hummus and 1/3 can of pumpkin will do the trick). I added chopped fresh sage. Less fontina cheese is needed as this is an extremely soft, melty cheese. To avoid soupy texture, I’d suggest 2 c. max if you half the recipe or are making one 10″ pizza. Caramelizing onions in olive oil almost never works right as olive oil gets to a higher temperature faster than butter. I’d recommend subbing out butter instead. Comes out better and takes much less time. Hope this helps!

Excellent. Was a little skeptical about the ingredients, but they blended together wonderfully. I did have to make my own pumpkin puree and hummus indivuidually but it was well worth it.
Ricardo Rodriguez
Very unique, love the sweet and savory flavor. They freeze pretty well.
Antonio Montes
Wow. After a lot of work we were really let down on this one. We have a varied taste for everything and wanted this to be good. But it just was not for us.

I made this for church and it was a BIG HIT. I mixed a small can of pumkin with a small container of hummus. I used 2 pre-made thin-crust pizza shells similiar to foccacia in that they had herbs already added. Everything else was the same except the cheese…couldn’t find fontina so I used some grated sharp chedder. So happy this is such a versatile recipe that allows me to substitute and it still turns out amazing.

This was AMAZING. I would rate it 10 stars if I could. It was bursting with flavor and the textures really complimented each other. My only gripe was that it took a long time to make – it was worth it though. If you can make the hummus ahead of time that would really help. I can’t wait to make this again for a small dinner party!
Heather Dickerson
This sure sounded good, but OMG! I couldn’t find fontina, so used gouda and used whole wheat pitas instead of lavash. I also used prosciutto too, but bacon would be just as good. Oh – and if you are lazy like me, the apples are fine with the skin on. So yummy – and good for you too!
Alexis Hamilton
I made this recipe forgetting to put apples in it… and it was still awesome. My hubby said it was in the top five pizzas he has ever had. He was my guinea pig for sampling possibly Halloween Party recipes. It will definitely be served! We love it, it was just amazing.
Kimberly Floyd
This was a great recipe! I used whole-wheat pre-baked pizza crusts and substituted prochuttio for the bacon and it was delicious! I made the pizzas for a Halloween party and everyone raved. I will definately be making this again.
