So, we discovered this pizza as an hors d'oeuvre at a wonderfully expensive restaurant, and fell in LOVE.
We came home and tried for several months to recreate it. What we devised it the merger between ungodly levels of expense and work, and divine amounts of tastiness.
This is a quick and dirty path to deliciousness.
Step #1: Buy good quality whole wheat tortillas. (Or make your own crust and feel smug.) Slather with good quality basil pesto.
Step #2: Add sliced pears. We use canned pears, because they're mildly pre-cooked, but if you want to make your life complicated (and possible elevate the taste) feel free to precook your own pears.
Step #3: Add toasted pinenuts.
Step #4: Sprinkle Gorgonzola cheese - don't use too much. A little is perfect.
Step #5: Broil in your oven until crispy, and until pears are golden. We've tried using a cookie sheet, a perforated cookie sheet, and a pizza stone; best results seem to be on the perforated cookie sheet - but honestly, we've never quite gotten thoroughly crispy crust. The center is always a bit soft. Let me know if you figure out how?
But seriously. This is amazing. You must try it. You will want to eat more than is healthy for you. But really, it's quite healthy!
