1 Tbsp butter
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
pinch of salt
1 Tbsp chicken, beef, or veggie stock
1 pre-made thin crust flatbread
2 tsp olive oil, divided
4 oz goat cheese
1 cup arugula

Instructions

Heat butter in skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, 30 to 40 minutes. Once onions begin to soften and brown, sprinkle with salt and stir in stock. Cook additional 1 to 2 minutes and remove from heat.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Lay flatbread on baking sheet. Brush with 1 tsp olive oil and top with caramelized onions and goat cheese. Bake 8 to 12 minutes, or until cheese melts and crust is crisp. Remove from oven.
Toss arugula with 1 tsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Top flatbread with arugula and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
