Pear & Goat Cheese Pizza

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ready-to-use pizza dough
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 onion caramelized
  • 4 ounces goat cheese crumbled
  • 1 pear sliced into ¼-inch-thick pieces
  • 3 slices bacon fried then crumbled
  • ¼ cup candied walnuts
  • Handful of arugula
  • 2 teaspoon balsamic reduction*

Instructions
 

  • For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 425°. When ready to bake the pizza, punch the dough down, then turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out with a floured rolling pin, rolling it into an 11-inch circle. Place it on a pizza stone or a parchment-lined pizza pan. Place the pizza in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes, then remove.
  • Brush the pizza with the olive oil, then sprinkle it with the ground cinnamon. Cover the pizza in caramelized onions, followed by crumbled goat cheese. Arrange the pear slices across the pizza. Place the pizza back into the oven for 15 minutes or until the edges are browned.
  • Remove the pizza, then top with the crumbled bacon, candied walnuts, and arugula. Drizzle the balsamic reduction all over the pizza.

Notes

* To make balsamic reduction, place 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon honey in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow the vinegar to come to a boil, then turn down and simmer for about 10 minutes or until it has reduced and thickened.
