Best 4 Pear And Bleu Cheese Pizza With Honey Drizzle Recipes

PEAR AND BLEU CHEESE PIZZA WITH HONEY DRIZZLE

Steps:

• Defrost the pizza dough and follow instructions on package for making a 12" pizza crust. Make sure ball is thoroughly defrosted and has had time to rest (about 1/2 hour in a bowl) as it will make the dough more elastic and easier to form into a pizza crust.
• Dust with flour and roll out dough into a circle. Put on a pizza pan and brush whole crust with a layer of olive oil.
• Sprinkle dough with garlic salt and Parmesan cheese.
• In a preheated oven (400°F) put the pizza crust into the oven and let bake for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter and about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet on medium heat.
• Slice pear into thin slices. Gently sauté pear slices and walnuts for about 3-5 minutes until the pears begin to caramelize.
• Take crust out of the oven after baking for 5 minutes and sprinkles with mozzarella.
• Arrange pears and walnuts all over the top of the pizza and crumble the entire wedge of blue cheese on top of the pear and walnut mixture.
• Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the cheese melts and the crust is browned.
• Lightly drizzle honey over the whole pizza and serve.
• Garnish with a sprinkle of finely chopped flat leaf parsley (optional).
• ***Added flavor: Fry some bacon until crispy and crumble real bacon bits over the top! My family loves the addition of the bacon.

BLUE CHEESE AND PEARS

Steps:

• Spread soft blue cheese on pear slices and drizzle with honey.

BLUE CHEESE, WALNUT, AND PEAR PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place the pizza crust on a pizza pan. Bake in the preheated oven until just crisp, about 5 minutes.
• 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.
• 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.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and is bubbly, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before cutting into slices.

BLUE CHEESE AND PEAR PIZZA

Steps:

• Put the water in a warm bowl and sprinkle the yeast and brown sugar on top. Stir to dissolve and set aside.
• Combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, salt and olive oil in a mixing bowl and blend well. Add the yeast mixture and blend. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead about 10 minutes. The dough should not be sticky. Add a litle more flour if necessary.
• Shape the dough into a ball. Lightly oil the inside of a mixing bowl, place the dough in it and cover closely with a sheet of clear plastic wrap. Let the dough stand in a reasonably warm place until it is doubled in bulk, 45 minutes to an hour. Punch the dough down, shape into a ball and return it to a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Let stand again until doubled in bulk, 30 minutes or so.
• Meanwhile, peel the pears and rub them with the lemon to prevent discoloring. Cut the pears in half lengthwise and remove the cores with a melon-ball cutter. Cut the pear halves into the thinnest possible slices. There should be about six cups.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
• Punch the dough down and divide it into thirds. Roll out each third into a 10- to 11-inch circle. Sprinkle three pizza tins or baking sheets lightly with cornmeal and place a circle of dough on each.
• Arrange a first layer of pear slices close together in concentric circles on each round, leaving a margin of about one inch from the outer rim of dough. Scatter a third of the grated Gruyere over each. Cover with a slightly smaller portion of pear slices and sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese. Brush the rim of each pizza with melted butter.
• Place the pizzas on a rack in the oven and bake 10 to 12 minutes.
