Pear & Gorgonzola Pizza




I am seriously addicted to the Pear & Gorgonzola pizza at California Pizza Kitchen.  So, I decided to try making it at home to see if I could could make it just a little bit healthier.   It turned out great, so I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients
1/2 (16 ounce) package refrigerated pizza crust dough - I used the Whole Foods multi-grain
4 ounces thinly sliced provolone cheese
1 pear, thinly sliced
1 caramelized onion ( 1/4 cup of pre-made caramelized onions)
2 Tbs. chopped hazelnuts
1 ounce Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (split between pizza and salad)
spring greens, tossed in Ranch dressing ( I used Bolthouse Ranch made with yogurt)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
 
Roll/Stretch crust out on baking stone and drizzle with olive oil. Bake crust for 6 minutes.
 
Remove and  layer with Provolone cheese. Top cheese with pear slices. Sprinkle with walnuts, caramelized onions and Gorgonzola cheese. Bake in the preheated oven 6-8 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crust is lightly browned. Remove from heat. Top with mixed spring greens tossed in Ranch dressing.
