- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and is bubbly, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into slices.
Tips:
- Use ripe pears: For the best flavor, use ripe pears that are slightly soft to the touch.
- Choose a good quality blue cheese: A strong, flavorful blue cheese will add a lot of flavor to the pizza. Look for a blue cheese that is creamy and has a sharp, tangy taste.
- Don't overcook the pizza: The pizza should be cooked until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking the pizza will make the crust tough and the cheese dry.
- Serve the pizza immediately: The pizza is best served hot out of the oven. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
Conclusion:
This blue cheese, walnut, and pear pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The combination of sweet pears, salty blue cheese, and crunchy walnuts is sure to please everyone. Serve it with a side of arugula salad for a complete meal.
