6 cloves garlic

1 tablespoon cornmeal for dusting
6 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
5 thin slices prosciutto, cut into halves

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the garlic in a small square of aluminum foil. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over the garlic. Wrap foil around garlic to seal.
Roast the garlic in the preheated oven until soft, about 20 minutes. Smash roasted cloves with a fork.
Place the pears in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil; toss to coat. Arrange pear slices on a baking sheet.
Bake in hot oven until soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Preheat a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Lightly dust a flat surface with flour. Roll the prepared pizza crust dough out onto the prepared surface. Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal. Lay the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread the mashed garlic onto the dough; top with the Swiss cheese. Arrange the pears, prosciutto, and mozzarella cheese onto the pizza. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the edges of the crust with the 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is melted and crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

BRIE AND PEAR PIZZA

Brie and Pear Pizza image

I found this recipe in the Toronto Star, December 26, 2007, rated one of the best recipes of the year. It is a lovely brunch pizza..."do not use a non-stick skillet for the onions, and don't skimp on the pear; it adds the right touch of sweetness". Preparation time will be longer if using home-made pizza dough.

Time 1h5m

Yield 3 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 onions, halved, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 1/2 lbs pizza dough
extra virgin olive oil, to taste
1/2 lb brie cheese, sliced 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick
1 large bosc pears (about 3/4 lb) or 1 large abate pear, cored, sliced lengthwise 1/8-inch thick (about 3/4 lb)
chives, chopped, to taste

Steps:

Heat pizza stone in 400F oven at least 30 minutes.
For onions, melt butter with oil in large skillet on medium heat. Stir in onions, salt and pepper. Cook stirring often, 5 minutes or until starting to brown. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, 25 minutes, until golden brown and very tender. Stir in vinegar. Turn heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring often, 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder. Cool to room temperature. Makes 1 1/4 cups.
For pizza, cut dough into 3 pieces. On floured surface, press 1 piece of dough into 8 inch round. Transfer to pizza peel covered in parchment. Spread with about 1/3 caramelized onions. Brush exposed edges with oil. Put 1/3 of pear slices over onions, arranging like spokes on wheel. Arrange 1/3 of brie slices in between pear spokes.
Slide pizza on parchment onto pizza stone. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until bottom is crisp, brie is golden and pears are tender. Garnish with chives. Repeat with remaining dough, onions, pear, brie and chives. (You will have some onions left over).

Tips:

Use ripe pears: This will ensure that they are soft and juicy, and will caramelize nicely in the oven.
Wrap the brie in prosciutto before baking: This will prevent the cheese from melting out of the pizza.
Drizzle the pizza with honey before serving: This will add a touch of sweetness and help to balance out the salty flavors of the prosciutto and cheese.
Serve the pizza immediately: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and gooey, and the crust is crispy.

Conclusion:

This brie, pear, and prosciutto pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. It's perfect for a party or a casual dinner. The combination of sweet pears, salty prosciutto, and creamy brie is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a new pizza recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
