Pear Gorgonzola Flatbread (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 store-bought puff pastry sheet or flatbread
02 -
2 pears, ripe and sliced thin
03 -
4 oz (120g) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
04 -
1/4 cup (60ml) of honey
05 -
1 cup (30g) finely ground walnuts
06 -
A small handful of fresh arugula
07 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
08 -
Fresh cracked black pepper
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay out the puff pastry on a floured countertop, then move it onto a baking sheet. If you're going with flatbread, just put it right on the tray.
02 -
Pour a tablespoon of olive oil over the puff pastry or flatbread. Spread it around so it's coated evenly and helps with sticking.
03 -
Place the pear slices across the base, slightly overlapping, until you've got it all covered.
04 -
Take the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and scatter it over the pears.
05 -
Put the tray in the oven and let it bake for about 15 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the crust is golden, and the cheese has melted.
06 -
After you pull it out of the oven, drizzle honey on top. Sprinkle some ground walnuts, tear up the arugula, and finish with a little black pepper.
# Notes:
01 -
Go for pears that are firm but ripe—they taste and look better.
02 -
It's easier to roll puff pastry when it's been chilled.
03 -
Too sweet? Use less honey to balance everything out.
04 -
Toast the walnuts first for a richer flavor.
