Description

An elegant flatbread featuring sweet pears, tangy Gorgonzola, peppery arugula, crunchy candied walnuts, and a rich fig-balsamic reduction.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 pre-made flatbread or pizza dough
  • 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 2 cups fresh arugula
  • 1/2 cup candied walnuts
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 dried figs, chopped
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place flatbread on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly crisp.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, chopped figs, and honey. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Strain and set aside.
  3. Arrange pear slices and Gorgonzola on the flatbread. Bake for another 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted.
  4. Top baked flatbread with arugula and candied walnuts. Drizzle with fig-balsamic reduction. Season with salt and pepper, slice, and serve.
