Ingredients
1 package store-bought flatbread
1 whole pear
½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
¼ cup arugula
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
Directions
1.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for cooking the flatbread.
2.
Place the flatbread on a baking sheet, and brush it lightly with olive oil.
3.
Arrange the sliced pear evenly over the flatbread, distributing the slices so each bite has a piece of pear.
4.
Sprinkle the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese generously over the pears, allowing it to melt during baking.
5.
Drizzle a teaspoon of honey over the flatbread for a touch of sweetness to contrast with the cheese.
6.
Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
7.
Remove the flatbread from the oven, and top with a handful of fresh arugula for added freshness and texture.
8.
Season the flatbread with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste before slicing and serving.
