Pear & Prosciutto Pizza

Just had this for dinner - so good we had to post immediately.

2 tsp EVOO
2 C. vertically sliced sweet onion
1 pizza crust (we use an Artisan Pillsbury Pizza Crust)
1/2 C. shredded provolone cheese
1 medium pear, thinly sliced
2 ounces prosciutto, cut into thin strips
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. chopped walnuts, toasted (optional)
1.5 C. baby arugula leaves
1 tsp. sherry vinegar (we used fig vinegar mixed with a little chipotle oil)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add onion to pan; cover and cook 3 minutes.  Uncover and cook 10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently.

Flour the counter and unwrap the pizza dough; roll out the pizza dough until approximately 1/8 in. thick. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 6 square pieces. Once the pieces are cut, use the rolling pin and roll out each piece until extremely thin; place 3 on each pizza sheet and bake 4 minutes on each side of the pizzettas until golden brown.

Top each pizzetta evenly with onion; sprinkle with cheese.  Top evenly with pear and prosciutto.  Sprinkle with pepper.  Bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes or until cheese melts.  Sprinkle with nuts.  Place arugula in a medium bowl.  Drizzle vinegar over greens; toss gently to coat.  Top pizzettas evenly with arugula mixture.
