2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped

¼ cup white wine vinegar

½ cup olive oil

¼ cup crumbled blue cheese

salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup crumbled blue cheese

⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 pears – peeled, cored and sliced

¼ cup toasted walnut pieces

Methods :

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Place the pizza crust on a pizza pan. Bake in the preheated oven until just crisp, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, combine the garlic, Dijon mustard, rosemary, and vinegar in a food processor or blender. Turn on, and drizzle in the olive oil slowly until the dressing has thickened. Quickly pulse in 1/4 cup of blue cheese; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Spread the vinaigrette over the pizza crust. Sprinkle 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.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and is bubbly, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before cutting into slices.
