Original recipe yields 8 slices

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Cut several slits into the fatty skin of the duck breast. In a skillet over medium heat, fry skin-side-down for 10 minutes. Flip and continue to cook in its own fat for 10 minutes more. Remove from pan. Carefully remove skin using a sharp knife, then slice, and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, cook onions in olive oil over medium heat until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Mix in honey and continue to cook until brown and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes more.
Spread goat cheese evenly over pizza crust and season with salt and pepper. Then layer with caramelized onions, fontina cheese, duck breast slices and rosemary.
Bake in preheated oven until cheese in center of pizza is completely melted, about 10 minutes.

"Huuuge hit at our house tonight. I've never seen "spreadable" goat cheese, so I took a regular log and mashed it with a bit of sour cream until it was smooth and spreadable. Great combination of flavo..." See morers."

"Outstanding. For a truly decadent version, cook the duck breast first and save the rendered fat. Slice a potato thinly and drizzle the duck fat over the slices before roasting them in the oven. Add..." See more the roast potato slices as another layer of the pizza. I also used goat cheese which had honey added. Really, great fun recipe."

"We love this! I use Pizza Dough II from this site and bake at 500 on a pizza stone. Also I use cooked chicken instead of duck. Try it, it's different and so good...." See more"
