Yield Makes 12 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large red onions (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds), halved, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry red wine (such as Zinfandel)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 pound sweet Italian sausages (about 4 links), casings removed
Pizza Dough Rounds or 1 pound purchased fresh pizza dough
Nonstick olive oil spray
2 cups (packed) coarsely shredded Manchego cheese,* divided

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until soft and deep golden brown, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Stir in wine, vinegar, and sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer until almost all liquid is absorbed, stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to small bowl. Cool.
  • Heat medium skillet over medium heat. Add sausage; sauté until cooked through and browned, breaking up with back of fork, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to small bowl. Cool. DO AHEAD: Onions and sausage can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately; chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Lightly flour 2 rimless baking sheets. Divide purchased pizza dough in half (if using). Working with 1 dough round or dough half at a time, roll out on lightly floured surface to 12x8-inch oval. Transfer to baking sheets. Spray top of flatbreads with nonstick spray.
  • Invert flatbreads, sprayed side down, onto grill. Cook until grill marks appear and sides of bread are dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Return to same baking sheets, grilled side down. Spray uncooked side with nonstick spray. Turn flatbreads over on baking sheets, grilled side up. Sprinkle 3/4 cup cheese over each flatbread. Sprinkle onions, then sausage, over flatbreads, dividing equally. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese over, dividing equally. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
  • Transfer flatbreads, topping side up, to grill. Cover and cook until crusts are crisp and cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to work surface. Cut into rectangles and serve.
  • A Spanish cheese made from sheep's milk; sold at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores.

The flatbreads were good, but they weren't anything special.

I wasn't a fan of the Manchego cheese, but the rest of the flatbread was delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the flatbreads turned out too dry.

The flatbreads were easy to make, but they didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.

These flatbreads were a little too greasy for my taste, but the flavor was still good.

The caramelized onions were the star of the show. They added so much flavor and sweetness to the flatbreads.

I'm not usually a fan of flatbreads, but these were amazing! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. The caramelized onions were especially delicious.

Wow! These flatbreads were a hit at my last party. The caramelized onions added a delicious sweetness that balanced out the smokiness of the sausage and the Manchego cheese melted perfectly. I'll definitely be making these again!
