Caramelized Onion Tart

2 Tbs. Olive oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced (6 cups)
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 16-oz. ready-to-bake whole-wheat pizza dough
1 cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated aged provolone cheese
20 green olives, halved

DIRECTIONS:

1.  Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Add onions, and sprinkle with salt, if desired.  Saute 5-7 minutes or until softened.  Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in thyme and pepper.   Cook 15 minutes more or until onions are browned and caramelized, stirring often.  Stir in vinegar and cook 5 minutes more.  Remove from heat.

2.  Preheat oven to 425 F.  Coat a 12-inch pizza pan or rectangular cookie sheet with cooking spray.  Press dough into 10-inch circle on pizza pan or sheet.  Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup provolone over dough.  Spread onions over top, then sprinkle with remaining cheese and olives.  Bake 20 minutes or until crust is golden.
