Sweet Onion, Olive and Anchovy Pissaladiere

To keep college students from getting pizza bored, the chefs at Penn State University created a French variation on the Italian classic. The pissaladiere is a simple flatbread topped with caramelized onions, olives and anchovies, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with chopped thyme. Cheese is not part of the traditional recipe. This flatbread can serve as a satisfying snack or shareable starter.
