Step 1: Preheat oven to 450º F. In a sauce pan place chopped up pears and butter. Cook until tender, about 2-3 minutes. Add oregano, minced garlic, black pepper and a dash of cinnamon. Cook for another minute and then transfer pears to a bowl.
Step 2: Spread 2 Tbsp of Alfredo sauce over the store-bought flat bread. Top with cooked pears, blue cheese, Asiago cheese, and torn prosciutto slices. Bake on a baking sheet for 10 minutes or until cheese has melted.
*Substitute flatbread with premade pizza crust, pita or naan bread.
Step 3: Drizzle with balsamic glaze and add additional pepper, oregano and fresh parsley if desired. Cut into slices and serve warm. Enjoy!
*Caution-Oven and pizza baking sheet, or stone will be hot!
Tips for the Best Flatbread
- Use slightly firm pears so they hold their shape
- Don’t overload it—this one’s about balance, not chaos
- Add balsamic glaze at the end (always at the end)
- Want it crispier? Bake directly on the oven rack for the last few minutes
Easy Swaps & Variations
- Goat cheese instead of blue if you’re not a blue cheese person
- Add arugula after baking for a fresh bite
- Throw on toasted walnuts for crunch
- Use pizza crust if that’s what’s in your fridge—no judgment
What to Serve With It
- Simple salad
- A glass of wine (strongly encouraged)
- Or just eat it straight off the cutting board while standing in the kitchen—we all do it
FAQ
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prep it, but bake it fresh. That’s where the magic happens.
Is this dinner or an appetizer?
Depends on your mood. Or how many slices you eat.
Do I have to use prosciutto?
No, but it’s kind of the salty backbone of the whole thing. Bacon could work in a pinch.
