It's also a great way to use up leftover ham. Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 ½ cups sliced onion Kosher salt ¼ cup ricotta 1 6-x-12-inch flatbread (such as Stone Fire) ½ cup shredded fontina ⅓ cup thinly-sliced ham Flat-leaf parsley for serving Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with a baking sheet on rack in lower third. Heat oil in a skillet over medium. Add onion and a pinch of kosher salt. Cook, stirring often, until onion is caramelized, 18 minutes. Spread ricotta onto flatbread. Sprinkle evenly with fontina. Top with onion and ham. Bake on heated sheet until cheese has melted, 10 minutes; switch oven to broil and cook until cheese is bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes more. Let cool slightly; garnish with flat-leaf parsley, slice, and serve. Originally appeared: Martha Stewart Living, April 2019 Rate It PRINT
