Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Base

  • 2 naan flatbreads or premade flatbread crusts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cheese and Toppings

  • 4 ounces goat cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 ripe pears, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 cup arugula (for topping)

Finishing Drizzle

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the flatbreads until crisp and golden.
  2. Prepare the Flatbreads: Place the naan or premade flatbread crusts on a baking sheet and brush each lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.
  3. Add Cheeses: Spread the softened goat cheese evenly over each flatbread, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top for a melty, creamy layer.
  4. Layer Pears and Nuts: Arrange thin slices of ripe pears evenly over the cheese, then sprinkle chopped walnuts and fresh thyme leaves across the flatbreads. Season with salt and black pepper for flavor balance.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the flatbreads are crisp around the edges and the cheese has turned slightly golden.
  6. Top and Finish: Remove from the oven, immediately top each flatbread with fresh arugula, and then drizzle generously with honey and balsamic glaze for sweetness and tang.
  7. Serve: Slice the flatbreads into portions and serve warm, enjoying the contrast of crisp flatbread, creamy cheese, sweet fruit, and crunchy nuts.

Notes

  • Use Bartlett or Bosc pears for their ideal sweetness and texture, which complement the other ingredients well.
  • For extra flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before chopping and adding.
  • For a savory twist, adding thin slices of prosciutto pairs beautifully with the sweet and tangy elements.
