Ingredients

  • 1 pre-baked pizza crust
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 pears – peeled, cored and sliced
  • ¼ cup toasted walnut pieces

Directions

Step 1
Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2
Place the pizza crust on a pizza pan. Bake in the preheated oven until just crisp, about 5 minutes.

Step 3
Meanwhile, combine the garlic, Dijon mustard, rosemary, and vinegar in a food processor or blender. Turn on, and drizzle in the olive oil slowly until the dressing has thickened. Quickly pulse in 1/4 cup of blue cheese; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 4
Spread the vinaigrette over the pizza crust. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of blue cheese evenly over the crust, followed by the mozzarella cheese. Arrange the sliced pears over the cheese, and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and is bubbly, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before cutting into slices.
