Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry or Flatbread Use store-bought for convenience and a flaky texture.
For the Topping
  • 2 Pears Thinly sliced for sweetness and moisture; choose ripe, firm pears for the best flavor.
  • 4 oz Gorgonzola Cheese Crumpled; adds creamy richness and tanginess. Feel free to swap it with goat or blue cheese.
  • 1/4 cup Honey For sweetness, balancing out the flavors beautifully. Adjust according to your taste preferences.
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts Chopped for crunchy nuttiness; pecans are a great substitute if needed.
  • 1 handful Arugula For a peppery freshness that complements the flatbread nicely.
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil Drizzled over the base for flavor and to prevent sticking.
  • Freshly Cracked Black Pepper To taste; it adds a lovely depth of flavor to the dish.

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it.
  2. Place the puff pastry or flatbread on the baking sheet and drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the base.
  3. Thinly slice your ripe pears and layer them on the flatbread, slightly overlapping each slice.
  4. Evenly scatter the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese over the pear layers.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  6. Once baked, let it cool for about 2 minutes, then drizzle honey, sprinkle walnuts, arugula, and black pepper on top.
