Gorgonzola Pear Pizza

Ingredients

1 pizza dough ball (room temperature)
3 1/2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (divided)
1 large onion, sliced
1 1/2 tsp. honey
4 oz. BelGioioso Gorgonzola cheese (2 oz. diced, 2 oz. sliced or torn)
1-2 thinly sliced pears
3/4 cup arugula for garnish
1/4 cup chopped candied pecans for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 500˚F. Stretch or roll out room temperature pizza dough, on a floured surface to desired size. Place on a lightly floured sheet pan, cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add in onions. Stir occasionally while cooking until golden and caramelized. About 15 minutes.

In a small bowl mix remaining 1 1/2 tbsp of olive oil with the honey. Stir in the diced Gorgonzola.

Arrange pear slices on prepared pizza dough and spoon diced Gorgonzola on top. Scatter the caramelized onions onto the pizza and bake until bubbly with a golden crust. Cooks from 7-12 minutes depending on oven and whether a stone is used.

Removed from the oven and arrange remaining Gorgonzola slices onto the pizza. Sprinkle the candied pecans on top and toss the arugula into the center of the pizza. Slice and serve.
