German Deli Pizza

By ErinLayton

My family absolutely LOVES this mild, yet rich and almost buttery take on a ham and swiss sandwich.

Ingredients

• Sauce:
• 1 ready-made pizza crust, such as Boboli
• 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• Toppings:
• 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 1 cup fully cooked lean ham, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Place pizza crust on pizza pan.
3. Meanwhile, for the sauce, in a small saucepan, saute chopped onion in butter until tender. Stir in flour until blended; gradually add evaporated milk and mustard. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese. Spread over crust. Top with sliced onion, ham and cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Slice.
