Pear, Arugula and Gorgonzola Pizza

If you are looking for a great stay in Friday night meal this was a hit.  Last Friday, a few friends and I decided to lay low and have some wine on the couch after work. We ended up trying a few new recipes and were really happy with how they turned out.  One of the things we tried was this pizza which turned out great.  It was also super easy and quick which is also nice when you would rather be catching up with friends rather than stuck in the kitchen all night.

Pear, Arugula and Gorgonzola Pizza

 

What you need:

- 1 pizza crust (I like to use Pillsbury Whole Wheat Artisan, but you can use whatever you prefer).

- 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil

- About 2 cups of Arugula (We just bought a bag and sprinkled desired amount on top).

- Gorgonzola Cheese, crumbled (About 2-3 oz.).

- 2 fresh pears, sliced thin

 

Directions:

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees (or whatever temperature indicated on package for dough).

- Spread dough out on a greased cookie sheet or a non-greased pizza stone.  Bake dough for about 8-10 minutes.

- Remove dough from oven, drizzle olive oil over dough.  If you have a brush then you can brush it evenly across dough.

- Spread sliced pears evenly on top of dough.  Sprinkle Gorgonzola on top of this.  Place cookie sheet or pizza stone back in over and bake for another 10 minutes, or until crust is done.

- Remove from over, layer arugula on top and serve!
