Top a refrigerated crust with portobello mushrooms, smoked mozzarella and prosciutto for a hearty starter. Made in a 15x10x1-in. pan, the pizza could even be cut into larger pieces and served as an entree.—Edwina Gadsby, Hayden Idaho

2 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove from pan.
In same skillet, heat remaining butter and oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and rosemary; cook about 1-2 minutes longer or until liquid is evaporated.
Unroll and press dough onto bottom of a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Using fingertips, press several dimples into dough. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese; top with onion, mushroom mixture and prosciutto. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
