Description
Sweet ripe pears paired with tangy Gorgonzola, caramelized onions, mozzarella cheese, and a drizzle of honey create a gourmet-style flatbread that’s quick to prepare and perfect for a sophisticated appetizer or light lunch.
Ingredients
Flatbread
- 1 flatbread or naan
Toppings
- 1 pear, thinly sliced
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- ¼ cup crumbled Gorgonzola
- ¼ cup caramelized onions
Finishing Touches
- 1 tsp honey or balsamic glaze
- Fresh arugula for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425 °F (220 °C) so it’s hot and ready for baking the flatbread to a crispy, golden perfection.
- Assemble the flatbread: Place the flatbread or naan on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute shredded mozzarella, crumbled Gorgonzola, caramelized onions, and thinly sliced pear on top of the flatbread, layering the flavors beautifully.
- Bake the flatbread: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the flatbread is crisp and the cheeses are melted and slightly golden.
- Finish with honey and arugula: Remove the flatbread from the oven. Drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and contrast. Garnish generously with fresh arugula to add a peppery, fresh bite to the dish before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute Gorgonzola with other blue cheeses or goat cheese to vary the flavor profile.
- This flatbread works wonderfully as an elegant appetizer or a light, satisfying lunch option.
