1 package store-bought flatbread
1 whole pear
0.5 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
0.25 cup arugula
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for cooking the flatbread.
- Place the flatbread on a baking sheet, and brush it lightly with olive oil.
- Arrange the sliced pear evenly over the flatbread, distributing the slices so each bite has a piece of pear.
- Sprinkle the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese generously over the pears, allowing it to melt during baking.
- Drizzle a teaspoon of honey over the flatbread for a touch of sweetness to contrast with the cheese.
- Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
- Remove the flatbread from the oven, and top with a handful of fresh arugula for added freshness and texture.
- Season the flatbread with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste before slicing and serving.
