Ooo, Pear, Gorgonzola, and Walnut Flatbread—a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and crunchy! Here’s a detailed recipe to make it from scratch or with store-bought dough:
Ingredients
For the Flatbread:
- 1 lb pizza or flatbread dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
For the Topping:
- 2 ripe pears, thinly sliced
- 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional, caramelized adds sweetness)
- 1–2 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- Honey or balsamic glaze, for drizzling
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- If using a pizza stone, preheat it as well.
- Prepare the Dough:
- Roll out dough to a rectangle or oval about ¼-inch thick.
- Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Brush lightly with olive oil.
- Assemble the Flatbread:
- Arrange pear slices evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle Gorgonzola cheese and walnuts on top.
- Add red onion slices if using.
- Season lightly with salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Bake:
- Bake 12–15 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
- Finish and Serve:
- Remove from oven and drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze.
- Slice and serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or light meal.
💡 Tips:
- Use firm but ripe pears (like Bosc or Anjou) so they hold their shape while baking.
- Toast the walnuts lightly beforehand for extra crunch and flavor.
- You can swap Gorgonzola with blue cheese or goat cheese if preferred.
If you want, I can also give a quick, no-roll version using store-bought flatbreads or naan—ready in under 20 minutes.
Do you want me to give that version?
