INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 oz. goat cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)
  • 2 oz. Parmesan cheese, shredded (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tsp. fresh thyme
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp. cornmeal
  • 1 lb. prepared pizza dough, at room temperature
  • 1 small pear, quartered, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 2 c. baby arugula

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine goat cheese, Parmesan, and thyme in a bowl. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion slices and cook for about 5 -8 minutes, until slightly caramelized. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, swirling frequently, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal. Stretch and shape dough into a 12-by-12-inch circle or square and place on prepared baking sheet. Spread cheese mixture on dough, leaving a 1-inch border all around. Spread the onions and garlic on top of the cheese mixture. Top with pears.
  3. Bake until golden and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Top with prosciutto and arugula. Slice and serve immediately.
