Walnut, Pear and Goat Cheese Pizza


Pear, Goat Cheese, and Walnut Pizza




Ingredients:

1 ripe red Pear, sliced into bite sized pieces

½ cup caramelized Walnuts (Brown in non-stick pan, then add 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon butter, once melted remove from heat and let cool)

2 cups Field Greens or Arugula

½ cup Goat cheese (in small pieces)

¼ cup Goat cheese for garnish

1 cup grated Mozzarella

1 yellow Onion-sliced thinly and caramelized in butter


Directions:

Using the recipe for quick pizza dough, pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Cover pizza with mozzarella, onions and goat cheese. Place into oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the pizza is golden brown and bubbly. Remove and sprinkle with pear pieces and top with field greens. Sprinkle remaining goat cheese over the top of field greens. Slice pizza and serve immediately.
