Ingredients
For the Flatbread:
1 pre-made flatbread or pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
1 large ripe pear, thinly sliced
3 oz (85 g) Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 teaspoon honey or balsamic glaze (for drizzling)
Fresh arugula (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Base:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the flatbread or pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Assemble the Flatbread:
Brush the surface of the flatbread with olive oil.
Evenly distribute the mozzarella cheese over the flatbread.
Arrange the pear slices on top of the mozzarella in a single layer.
Sprinkle crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and chopped walnuts across the top.
Add a light sprinkle of fresh rosemary for added aroma and flavor.
Bake:
Place the assembled flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the edges of the flatbread are golden brown.
Finish with a Drizzle:
Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness.
Garnish and Serve:
If desired, top with a handful of fresh arugula for a peppery contrast.
Slice and serve warm.
