Description
There’s something magical about combining different flavors and textures into one delightful dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
- ½ cup (60 g) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- ½ cup (60 g) chopped walnuts
- 1 store-bought flatbread or pizza dough
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 cups (60 g) fresh arugula leaves
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your flatbread becomes delightfully crispy. Place your store-bought flatbread or rolled-out pizza dough on a baking tray. Use 1 tablespoon of olive oil to brush the flatbread evenly, creating a golden crust upon baking.
- Layer the thinly sliced pear across the flatbread, ensuring that each slice is spread out evenly. Follow with an even sprinkling of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and chopped walnuts. This combination will melt beautifully and create a balanced mixture of flavors once baked.
- Place the assembled flatbread in the preheated oven. Let it bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and golden brown, and the cheese has melted into a luscious layer binding everything together.
- In a large bowl, mix the fresh arugula leaves with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, giving it a gentle toss to coat the leaves evenly. This will provide a refreshing contrast to the warm, savory elements of the flatbread.
- Once the flatbread is baked to your liking, remove it from the oven. Top it with the dressed arugula, giving it a fresh, vibrant look. Finish by drizzling the balsamic glaze over the top. Slice, serve, and enjoy your culinary creation!
Notes
Using high-quality olive oil can enhance the flavor of both the flatbread and the arugula salad.
