This Pear and Gorgonzola Flatbread is a sophisticated yet easy-to-make dish that combines the sweetness of pears with the tangy flavor of Gorgonzola, drizzled with honey and topped with crunchy walnuts and fresh arugula.


Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry or flatbread (store-bought for convenience)
  • 2 pears, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz (120g) Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) honey
  • 1/4 cup (30g) chopped walnuts
  • A handful of arugula leaves

  2. Prepare the flatbread: Place the puff pastry or flatbread on a baking sheet.
  3. Assemble the flatbread: Arrange the pear slices, Gorgonzola cheese, and walnuts on top of the flatbread. Drizzle with honey and olive oil. Season with black pepper.
