Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 can refrigerated pizza crust

Toppings

  • 2 pears, thinly sliced
  • 3 oz prosciutto, cut into thin strips
  • ¾ cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese, plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Additional

  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh rosemary
  • Optional: balsamic vinaigrette

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for baking the flatbread pizzas.
  2. Prepare the Pizza Crust: Cut the refrigerated pizza crust into 6 equal squares and arrange them on a greased baking sheet, ensuring even spacing.
  3. Add Butter and Cheese: Brush the melted butter evenly over each square of pizza dough. Then, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and crumbled gorgonzola cheese evenly across the dough squares.
  4. Top with Pears and Prosciutto: Place the thinly sliced pears and strips of prosciutto on top of the cheese, distributing them evenly on each flatbread.
  5. Bake the Flatbreads: Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Add Final Touches: If desired, garnish the baked mini pizzas with fresh rosemary, a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette, and extra crumbled gorgonzola cheese before serving.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the flatbread pizzas warm as appetizers or a light meal, and enjoy the wonderful blend of flavors.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm pears to prevent them from becoming mushy during baking.
  • Prosciutto can be replaced with other cured meats or omitted for a vegetarian option (skip if choosing vegetarian diet).
  • To enhance flavor, chilling the flatbreads slightly before baking can help avoid soggy crust.
  • Balsamic vinaigrette adds a nice tangy sweetness, but can be skipped or replaced with honey if preferred.
  • Feel free to experiment with additional herbs like thyme or arugula topping after baking.
