Sharp Cheddar & Onion Pizzas

When pizza cravings hit and you don’t have an hour to spare, these cheddar and onion pizzas deliver. Prebaked Italian bread shells get loaded with sharp cheddar, chopped Roma tomatoes, sliced black olives, and red onion, then blasted in a hot oven until the cheese melts into bubbly pools.

Sharp cheddar gives you a flavor punch that mozzarella just can’t match. That tangy bite against sweet Roma tomatoes and briny olives makes for a combination that’s way more interesting than your standard slice.

Two pizzas, under 20 minutes, minimal cleanup. This is weeknight cooking at its smartest.

Kitchen Tips

• Layer half the cheese under the toppings and half on top so it melts both below and above
• Use very sharp or extra-old cheddar for maximum flavor impact
• Chop the tomatoes coarsely so they hold their shape and don’t make the shell soggy
• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes after baking if you want a little kick
