Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Once the dough is fully baked and slightly cooled, layer the prosciutto, caramelized pears, onions and crumbled blue cheese on the dough.
  • Lightly toss a handful of fresh arugula in olive oil and add it on top of the filling.
  • Season with a sprinkle of salt (optional) and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze and a small drizzle of honey for sweetness.
  • Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
  • Slice into 2–4 portions.
  • Serve warm & Enjoy!

Notes

Don’t like blue cheese? Try it with Gouda for smokiness, goat cheese for tang, fontina for meltiness, or brie for a creamy twist.
