Focaccia ripiena con cipolla

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while still melting well.

ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese offers a lower-fat option while maintaining creaminess.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

pizza dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought dough

Whole wheat dough adds fiber and nutrients.

Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C).

Slice onions thinly and sauté in olive oil over medium heat until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste.

In a bowl, combine mozzarella, ricotta, and parmesan cheeses with an egg until well mixed.

Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to fit a pie dish.

Transfer the dough to the pie dish and sprinkle cornmeal on the bottom to prevent sticking.

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.

Layer the caramelized onions on top of the cheese mixture.

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a crust, pinching to seal.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.

Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
