Ingredients
1
ball of pizza dough
2
cloves
garlic
minced
1
tbsp
Dijon mustard
2
sprigs fresh rosemary
chopped
¼
cup
white wine vinegar
½
cup
olive oil
2
cup
crumbled bleu cheese
salt & pepper to taste
¼
cup
crumbled blue cheese
⅓
cup
shredded mozzarella cheese
2
pears
(a pair of pears!) peeled, cored & sliced
¼
cup
toasted walnut pieces
Instructions
Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Roll out the dough like you always do (Hey, I don't judge.). Use a pizza pan or don't.
Pop it into the hot oven for a few minutes to lightly firm & crisp it up.
Meanwhile, combine the garlic, Dijon mustard, rosemary, and vinegar in a food processor or blender.
While it is blending, drizzle in the olive oil slowly until the dressing has thickened.
Quickly pulse in 1/4 cup of the bleu cheese; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Spread the vinaigrette over the pizza crust.
Sprinkle the remaining 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.
EAT IT!
