Here is a really nice recipe for a gourmet style pizza. From the Little Yellow Kitchen comes a recipe for Pear, Gorgonzola, Bacon and Balsamic Pizza. The recipe features fresh pizza dough, a sauce prepared from minced shallot, balsamic vinegar, butter, minced garlic, fresh thyme, and fresh ground black pepper. Pizza dough is baked in hot oven to set crust. Partially baked crust topped with sauce, cooked and crumbled bacon, Gorgonzola cheese, mozzarella cheese, and thinly sliced pear. The pizza is baked in a hot oven until the cheese has melted and sauce is bubbly.

Great combinations of ingredients provide nice contrast. Tangy sauce, salty bacon, and sweet pears. Not sure you could power through this pizza, might be a bit decadent. This sounds and looks delicious though, worthy of being part of my killer appetizer pizza repertoire. Have to look for some great pears at the Little Italy farmers market on Saturday.

Lovely blog with great posts, recipes and photos. I’ll have to scout around on it for more pizza recipes to make and report back on.
