Print Recipe

A gourmet flatbread with caramelized pears, creamy Gorgonzola, toasted walnuts, and a balsamic glaze drizzle. Perfect for holiday entertaining or a sophisticated weeknight treat!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb store-bought pizza dough (or 2 naan breads)
  • 2 ripe but firm pears (Bosc or Anjou), thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (for binding)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups arugula (for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prep dough: Let dough rest at room temp for 30 mins. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Caramelize pears: Heat oil in skillet over medium. Add pears and honey, cook 3-4 mins until slightly golden. Set aside.
  3. Shape & bake: Roll dough into 12×16-inch rectangle on parchment. Brush with oil, prick with fork. Par-bake 8 mins until lightly golden.
  4. Top: Sprinkle mozzarella, then Gorgonzola. Arrange pears in overlapping pattern. Add walnuts and rosemary.
  5. Finish baking: Return to oven for 10-12 mins until crust is crisp and cheese melts.
  6. Garnish: Top with arugula, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and sprinkle sea salt. Cut into squares.

Notes

  • Time-saver: Use pre-made flatbread and skip par-baking
  • Cheese swaps: Blue cheese or goat cheese work well
  • Make ahead: Prep toppings up to 4 hours in advance
  • Pairing suggestion: Serve with Prosecco or Pinot Grigio
  • Storage: Best eaten fresh (reheated leftovers become soggy)
