Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions or make the caramelized onion recipe below
• 4 cups of butternut squash, peeled and diced into small ½ inch size cubes
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 1 Tablespoon butter (or vegan substitute)
• 6 ounce bag baby spinach leaves
• 4 slices of flat bread
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese (or vegan substitute), shredded
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 3 yellow onions, sliced thin (about 2 cups)

Directions

• Heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
• Add butternut squash and saute for about 5-7 minutes or until squash is just about fork tender.
• Add spinach leaves and saute for about 3 minutes more or until spinach has wilted. Stir in caramelized onions.
• Pre-bake flat breads according to instructions. (I baked mine for 3 minutes in a 375 F oven.)
• Remove flat breads from oven.
• Distribute ¼ of the butternut squash, spinach and onion mixture over each slice of flat bread.
• Sprinkle ½ cup mozzarella cheese over the top of each slice.
• Return flat bread to the oven and cook for 4-5 minutes more or until cheese has melted.
• Melt butter in a large pan over medium-low heat.
• Add olive oil and onions to pan and stir to coat.
• To caramelize onions, cook onions over medium-low heat for about 30 minutes. Check and turn onions every 5-10 minutes until the onions are brown, but not burnt.
