What Ingredients Are in Pear Gorgonzola Pizza?

Blue cheese pizza? It’s actually really yummy! And it’ll probably be your favorite way to serve blue cheese!

You’ll need the following ingredients:

• Pizza crust dough: The perfect canvas for our toppings. I love rectangle pizzas as they’re great for parties.
• Provolone cheese: Melts beautifully and has a creamy, mild flavor.
• Pears: Our star ingredient, giving that juicy and sweet flavor.
• Walnuts: Adds a delightful crunch.
• Gorgonzola cheese: For the tangy kick!
• Chives: A sprinkle on top for a burst of fresh, oniony flavor.

Pro Tips!

• For a crispier crust, preheat your pizza stone before placing your pizza base on it.
• Caramelized onions can be an excellent addition, since the pizza already has such a sweet profile.
• Store bought is way easier but here’s a recipe for homemade pizza dough if you prefer.

They’re perfect for the next day’s lunch.

I recommend eating them up within a couple of days though.

Usually they’ll stay good for up to four days in the fridge.

 

 

Can You Freeze Pear Gorgonzola Pizza?

Yes, you can definitely freeze this pear gorgonzola pizza recipe! 

First make sure it’s cooled! That’s important, don’t stick it in the freezer unless it’s cooled.

Then slice it up, and place in a freezer-safe bag. 

When you’re ready, reheat in a preheated oven for best results.

If you reheat in the microwave, it’ll be warm, but it’ll be pretty soft and I don’t like it that way as much.

 

 

Is Pear Gorgonzola Pizza Healthy?

Pizza isn’t usually considered a health food. It’s much more of a comfort food.

However, fresh pears and walnuts do actually add a touch of nutrition!

Personally, I feel pretty good about almost any fruits or veggies I can sneak in!

If you have kids (or you know… I may LOVE cookies…) then you know how it is.

As with almost everything, enjoy in moderation!

 

 

Can I Eat Pear Gorgonzola Pizza While Pregnant?

While pears and walnuts are both considered safe to eat during pregnancy, there is some debate on whether it’s safe to eat blue cheese during pregnancy.

If you do eat it, make sure the gorgonzola cheese is pasteurized. 

And always consult your doctor for personal advice. I’m definitely not an expert!

 

 

Can Dogs Eat Pear Gorgonzola Pizza?

While pears in small amounts can be okay for dogs, gorgonzola and other pizza ingredients may not be. 

It’s best to avoid sharing this dish with our furry friends.

And always talk to a vet if you have questions. 

Just like above, I like making food, but I’m definitely no expert on all matters health!

 

 

Pear Gorgonzola Pizza is the perfect blend of unique flavors that’ll is great for any mealtime.
