1 large onion, sliced
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 1/2 cups (packed) well-drained sauerkraut from jar,1 tablespoon sauerkraut juice reserved
1 1/2 cups (packed) shredded Swiss cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 ¡F. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and caraway seeds and sauté until onion just begins to brown, about 7 minutes. Transfer onion mixture to large bowl. Mix in sauerkraut and 1 tablespoon sauerkraut juice. Cool to lukewarm, then mix in cheese. Season generously with pepper.
Place pizza crust on baking sheet. Spread with Dijon mustard and top with sausage, then sauerkraut mixture.
