Caramelized Onion + Bacon Flatbread

This quick dish is awesome for an appetizer or a main course, and can be customized in endless ways to suit your individual tastes. For this recipe, we went with caramelized onion and bacon at the hubby's request - but we've also made it with ham and cheese which was just as delicious!

If you give this one your own unique spin, please share your toppings of choice with me! I'd love to see what you're making.

Enjoy!
