Cranberry, pear, brie pizza
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe red pears or any pear you like, these are sweet
- 8 oz. brie cheese leave out till room temperature
- 1 cup cranberry jam use your favorite or my recipe
- 1 tbsp. butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Prepare pizza dough per instructions or make your own, my recipe is in the recipe section. Place on a 12" pizza pan that has been oiled with about a tbsp. of olive oil and dusted with cornmeal Place the dough into the pan and stretch out to the sides as carefully as you can, close up any holes that form. Take the tips of a fork and dock, which means to prick little holes on the dough, the entire pizza. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from the oven. While the pizza dough is cooking, slice the pears into 1/4 inch slices. Place the butter in a large fry pan and allow to brown on medium heat-the stage right before burning, it gives a nice butter flavor. Lay the slices of the pears on one side and cook about 3 minutes. Turn over carefully not to break the slices and cook another 3 minutes. Turn off the heat. Slice the brie into very thin 1/8 inch slices and tear into two or three pieces per slice. When the pizza is out of the oven, add the cranberry jam on top, spreading carefully; add the slices pears and top with the brie. Place back into the oven for 10-15 until the brie just starts to melt and has a slight tan color. Remove when done and let cool about ten minutes. Sprinkle with sea or kosher salt if desired Serves 2-4 depending how hungry you are! Enjoy!
