Step 1

Preheat oven to 205°C (400°F).

Step 2

Place vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; stir until sugar is dissolved. Continue to cook, stirring often, until reduced by about half, or until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Coarsely chop bacon and transfer to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 4-5 minutes.

Step 5

While the bacon is cooking, peel, halve, and thinly slice onion into half rings.

Step 6

Using a slotted spoon, remove crispy bacon from the skillet and transfer to a small bowl (leave cooking liquids in the skillet).

Step 7

Return skillet to medium-high heat; add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Place flatbreads on a baking sheet pan and drizzle with 1 tsp oil; top each flatbread with crumbled goat cheese, bacon, and onion. Place baking sheet in the oven and bake until flatbread become golden and crispy, about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Meanwhile, wash and dry arugula (skip if it came pre-washed). Transfer arugula to a medium bowl along with 1 tsp oil, salt, and pepper; toss to combine the salad and set aside.

Step 10

Wash, dry, and slice lemon into wedges.

Step 11

When pizzas are done, remove from the oven; top each with a small handful of arugula salad and drizzle on balsamic glaze.

Step 12

Divide pizzas and remaining arugula salad between plates. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the salad. Enjoy!
