Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe pears, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 pre-made flatbread or pizza dough
  • 1 cup goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • Fresh arugula, for garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced pears with olive oil, honey, cinnamon, and balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Spread the pear mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer.
  4. Roast the pears for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
  5. If using pizza dough, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. If using pre-made flatbread, skip this step.
  6. Place the rolled-out dough or flatbread on a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
  7. Brush the surface of the flatbread lightly with olive oil.
  8. Once the pears are done roasting, let them cool for a few minutes.
  9. Distribute the roasted pear slices evenly over the flatbread, leaving space around the edges.
  10. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over the pears.
  11. Add chopped walnuts on top.
  12. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  13. Bake the flatbread for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is slightly melted.
  14. Let the flatbread cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
  15. Top with fresh arugula and drizzle with extra honey or balsamic vinegar if desired.
  16. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top before baking.
  • Substitute blue cheese for goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Experiment with different nuts like pecans or almonds.
  • Add thinly sliced prosciutto before baking for an extra savory touch.
