Ingredients
- 1 store-bought flatbread or naan
- 1 –2 ripe pears Bosc or Bartlett, thinly sliced
- ½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- ½ small red onion thinly sliced or caramelized
- 2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans optional
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey or balsamic glaze for drizzling
- Fresh thyme or arugula optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or place flatbread directly on the sheet.
- Brush the flatbread lightly with olive oil. Arrange pear slices evenly across the surface.
- Top with Gorgonzola, red onions, and walnuts (if using).
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and cheese is slightly bubbling.
- Drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze. Top with fresh thyme or arugula if desired.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature!
Notes
- Use ripe but firm pears to avoid excess moisture on the flatbread.
- Swap Gorgonzola for goat cheese or brie if preferred.
- Add a few slices of prosciutto for a salty-savory upgrade.
- Use puff pastry or pizza dough if you want a more traditional pizza base.
- To caramelize onions, cook over low heat with a little olive oil for 15–20 minutes until golden.
