Instructions

1. 1. in a large skillet, melt 4 TBS butter over medium-high heat. reduce heat to medium & add onions. let them hang out & do their thing in the pan until they're nice & caramelized. {be patient with this as it does take time. mine took a good 45 minutes or so... but the effort & wait made for some tasty onions!} remove onions from skillet & set aside.

2. 2. in the same skillet, saute the garlic & spinach until leaves are wilted. this should only take a couple of minutes. remove from heat & set aside.

3. 3. in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 TBS butter. add the cream & egg yolk; stir until combined. add 3/4 C gruyere & cook until melted, 2-3 minutes. stir occasionally. add the cayenne pepper & nutmeg.

4. 4. preheat oven to 400 f. line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. unroll the pizza dough and pat to desired thickness on the cookie sheet. top with the white sauce, onions, spinach, remaining cheese & bacon {i saved a sprinkle of cheese to go on top of the bacon, too. :)} bake 15-18 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
