Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pre-baked pizza crust
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil, salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup (divided) blue cheese, crumbled
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 pears, peeled, cored and sliced
1/4 cup toasted walnut pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place the pizza crust on a pizza pan. Bake in the preheated oven until just crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the garlic, Dijon mustard, rosemary, and vinegar in a food processor or blender. Turn on, and drizzle in the olive oil slowly until the dressing has thickened. Quickly pulse in 1/4 cup of blue cheese; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the vinaigrette over the pizza crust. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of blue cheese evenly over the crust, followed by the mozzarella cheese. Arrange the sliced pears over the cheese, and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and is bubbly, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly before cutting into slices.

Tips:

  • Choose a ripe pear for the best flavor and texture. Look for one that is firm but slightly yielding to the touch.
  • If you are using a pre-made pizza dough, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before using. This will make it easier to work with.
  • To make the blue cheese dressing, simply whisk together the blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • When assembling the pizza, be sure to spread the blue cheese dressing evenly over the dough. Then, top with the pear slices, walnuts, and crumbled bacon.
  • Bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the cheese to set and the toppings to stay in place.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese, walnut, and pear pizza is a delicious and unique combination of flavors that is sure to please everyone at your next party or gathering.
