Another fabulous and tasty summer pizza for ya!

Pear, prosciutto and red onion all melty and gooey with mozzarella, parm and crumbled gorgonzola cheeses.

“Yum” just doesn’t do it justice.  This is yum on steroids…

The slight sharpness from the gorgonzola, mingled with the mild sweetness of the pears is a divine combination of flavors and textures.  

I used California Bartlett Pears for this particular pizza.  One; because they are fresh and in season.  Two; the are my favorite!  They are sweet and juicy and I love their soft texture.  Perfect composition for a pizza topping, yes?

Let’s make one together!

I used the same dough recipe as in our Nectarine Pizza.  It is a super easy method (only one rise) and tastes great.  If you are pressed for time or would rather use store bought, by all means, go for it!

Start by topping with some fresh mozzarella.

Add a layer of prosciutto 

Top it off with a layer of thick sliced bartlett pear

A bit of red onion

And a dusting of parmesan cheese.  Bake at a 500 degrees for about 10 minutes.  The high heat ensures a crisp crust and beautifully melted cheese.

Once the pizza is out of the oven, top with a bit of crumbled gorgonzola

And chopped green chives.

Meet your new favorite meal!

It’s great as an appetizer, snack or even an entire meal for you and your family.

So, slice it up…

…pour yourself a nice glass of Zinfandel, and feast away.  

Psst….did you know Zin is the perfect red wine to be paired with pear?  Zin tends to be a tad spicy, yet still light and fruity enough to blend nicely with this pear pizza.  

It’s the perfect pairing!

So pour yourself a glass, grab a slice…

…and insert into mouth 

Here is the simple recipe for ya!
