Alsatian Pizza with Bacon and Caramelized OnionsRay Kachatorian

This French-inspired pizza makes a good first course, great party food, or even a satisfying main with a green salad on the side. Don't worry if your kids ask, "Where's the tomato sauce?" Once they try a slice of this pie, they'll be sold on the marriage of crisp bacon, nutty Gruyère, and sweet onions.

The Game Plan
  • Make pizza dough; let rise for 1—1 1/2 hours; meanwhile, cook onions and bacon
  • Set up grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat
  • Roll out dough
  • Grill undersides of pizzas; flip and add toppings
  • Grilling time: 6—8 minutes
